The Devil Inside

There is no better way to say I met the devil yesterday There is no better way to see Forever you, and always me I looked for evil in the night I looked for demons dressed in white Redemption lost on war-torn souls The mirror showed me what i know In every you, and every me Phantoms soaked in gasoline An echo left for what it was Drowning; just the two of us I never know what lies beneath But when I sleep, i grind my teeth In Sober dreams of dirty deeds The killer [you], the killer [me] I justified these alibis Just suffocate me till i die The fire ignites these clear blue eyes Foolish thoughts will ask me why I make mistakes to tear it down My demon hands won’t make a sound You held my hand without a clue I burned it down and took you too Just let me breathe in bitter dreams I’m sure it’s better than it seems Another night; another stand Don’t ever ask to take my hand
