The Devil Made Me Do It

Don’t believe what you may see for your eyes they do deceive thee everything they say poisoned with half truths and lies only rumors to stifle our way I couldn’t have done those things none of that was real just horrible awful dreams there was no color only lack of light that could not have been me that night It wasn’t like I had a choice no not even my own voice I wasn’t in control the darkness took me over trapped me in a room so cold then it locked the door You just don’t understand the shadows they sometimes need me their call I can’t defy they whisper what I need to do to them I must comply it’s not me, its them to blame the blood is on their hands Know the beating of my heart's what’s real it’s the only thing that is beats each beat for the love I feel together it says, forever it says always, you are mine I’d protect you with my last breath put it all out on the line I never would have hurt you that’s the one thing I wouldn’t do It wasn’t me, it couldn’t be it’s not my fault, I have no guilt this burden it won’t be mine the devil made me do it it was to him I built my shrine
