Let the Smoke Clear
Bartering a deal with the Devil
She smiles and says trust me sweetheart you're nowhere near of qualifying level
I won't lift a claw to dabble in your dirty work
I'll provoke and highlight qualities within your soul you didn't realize lurk
When your teeter tottering living life on the edge
I'm the voice within pushing you to the brink on the ledge
I pray upon all your greatest fears
I don't bat an eye or shed a single tear
Now honey take it from me some rules in life are meant to be broken
It was hard not to listen as she was so incredibly rude and outspoken
Come on take a gamble,a roll of the dice
Discover how naughty can become the new nice
Come join me in envious lustful greed
We'll have all we desire and take what we need
Circum to fascinating deceitful betrayal and lies
Come dig your own grave be your own demise
Come take a walk with me on the dark side of the moon
Give into temptation, don't wait do it soon
Twisted nightmares become your own living hell
Meet skeletons in closets with stories to sell
Take my advice and follow my lead
Don't waste your time bestowing on others a good deed
Take my hand and explore with me a toxic world of sin
An impulsive deadly game no one ever does win
If you don't think you can handle the heat
I highly suggest you tuck tail and retreat
Don't be so easily persuaded to sign and seal the deal
Stakes are high when it's your optimistic soul they aim to steal
Don't feed the intoxicating poison in her veins that gets stronger as further from faith you stray
Even on your darkest day let the smoke clear, don't add fuel to the fire and allow your faith to slip away
