Devil

Stavesacre

another awkward moment passes

catering to questions asked by you

i do believe i've told you what you want to hear

it's so easy to recite

the lines and lies i've memorized

from this pedestal pushed through the sky

i'm laughing in your face



i hate who i am

and all that i've become



so many sleepless nights have found me

wandering comfortless streets

in search of peace, any release

from who i'm have become

and i'm sure you don't want to know

that i hate the role

i'm old and cold

an ugly sore a gaping hole

God have mercy on my soul



well, i guess i've disappointed you

what did you expect?

the hero is a wretch

a devil in the flesh

are you disenchanted by the idols humanness?

do you still think we connect?

maybe more than you'll admit
