There's something about the touch of your skin
That fanned the flames from deep within
But I think it's just a side effect of Hell
As we lay together in this grave, the murder of my faith we've made
I want escape but of course you know this all too well
You'll tell me everything I need to keep me pinned beneath your feet
The only means of escape is sinking further down
I've seen you for what you are
The serpent of lies, love's morningstar
This ain't no baptism, you just want me to drown
You can no longer hide
The Devil Inside
I almost lost myself in you
But you'll never take me alive
I couldn't make sense of this mess, so I just renamed it happiness
I bought the lie you sold to tend to my many wounds
And to think it was almost to late, to see the truth and change my fate
You don't create the light, you only consume
You'd wrapped your claws around my breath, this love a stasis feigning death
But I found my freedom and vowed never again
To let you take away my sight, and coil yourself around my soul tight
I fought like Hell to purge you from within
Death wrapped in a kiss
I was consumed by this
You almost destroyed in me
The will to be free
You can no longer hide
The Devil Inside
I almost lost myself in you
But you'll never take me alive
And now I see through
To the devil in you
Laughing from his throne of lies
