Devil's Kiss

I ain't gonna
Pull down my mask
Take a shot
From a stranger's flask
You could lace it
'Til the pleasure lasts
Might as well chase it
With a shotgun blast

Die quick
In the city I abandoned
Heal up
Hide out in the canyon
Ain't gonna put trust in the man
Spending my money
On another fake tan

It's your love I'm breathing
Wish I was up and leaving
I was damned when I made your list
Cut down by the devil's kiss
But your love keeps calling
And like the rest I'm falling
Can't run, I cannot resist
Cut down by the devil's kiss

But don't forget
I am not a forgiver
Where was the plan
While you were watching us shiver
It's a bad hand
And it won't be delivered
By the man that said,
"Son, double down on the river"
Know it's bad
When the lungs get thick
Tear down the tenements
Brick by brick
I'd rather drive
With a drunk ditch digger
With his foot on the gas
And his hand on the trigger

It's your love I'm breathing
Wish I was up and leaving
I was damned when I made your list
Cut down by the devil's kiss
But your love keeps calling
And like the rest I'm falling
Can't run, I cannot resist
Cut down by the devil's kiss

And the candle
Burns slow like a dancer
And the profiteer vandals
Lurk like a cancer
It's a scandal beyond belief
To see what the devil sees

People need
To preach loud like a scholar
Hold signs
Fists up like a brawler
I know better
Than to listen to the caller
Standing on a box
Just to call himself taller
The party's over
When you get the bill
Look down on the floor
At the blood you spilled
Bending the truth
In a real-time thriller
Watching the news
Just to face my killer

It's your love I'm breathing
Wish I was up and leaving
I was damned when I made your list
Cut down by the devil's kiss
But your love keeps calling
And like the rest I'm falling
Can't run, I cannot resist
Cut down by the devil's kiss

I ain't gonna
Pull down my mask
Take a shot
From a stranger's flask
You could lace it
'Til the pleasure lasts
Might as well chase it
With a shotgun blast
