Look the Devil Straight in the Eye
Look the devil straight in the eye
In the midst of a desert
Caught in the act of prospection
Watching veins emerge through the skin
On the wrist where it's tender
I feel like I might surrender
Navigating skin like a map
Marked by scars, cuts and bruises
Fading pictures of freedom
Walking in the dark with no light
Burned out torches and ashes
Dried out tears on my lashes
I wish you could save me
Save me from myself
I'm tired of reigning
My personal hell
I know you're committed
To playing your part
Please stray from the script and
Just come as you are
There's a crippling pain in your chest
As your breathing gets heavy
You look up to the ceiling
Watching stars as they fade away
Telling stories of glory
A distant place worth exploring
There's a loud buzz in you ears
Drowning out the surroundings
As your eyes fill with tears
Look an angel straight in the eye
You do not have to do this
You feel that you can pull through this
I wish you could save me
Save me from myself
I'm tired of reigning
My personal hell
I know you're committed
To playing your part
Please stray from the script and
Just come as you are
Look the devil straight in the eye
In the midst of a desert
And only see your reflection...
In the midst of a desert
Caught in the act of prospection
Watching veins emerge through the skin
On the wrist where it's tender
I feel like I might surrender
Navigating skin like a map
Marked by scars, cuts and bruises
Fading pictures of freedom
Walking in the dark with no light
Burned out torches and ashes
Dried out tears on my lashes
I wish you could save me
Save me from myself
I'm tired of reigning
My personal hell
I know you're committed
To playing your part
Please stray from the script and
Just come as you are
There's a crippling pain in your chest
As your breathing gets heavy
You look up to the ceiling
Watching stars as they fade away
Telling stories of glory
A distant place worth exploring
There's a loud buzz in you ears
Drowning out the surroundings
As your eyes fill with tears
Look an angel straight in the eye
You do not have to do this
You feel that you can pull through this
I wish you could save me
Save me from myself
I'm tired of reigning
My personal hell
I know you're committed
To playing your part
Please stray from the script and
Just come as you are
Look the devil straight in the eye
In the midst of a desert
And only see your reflection...
