lyrics

I was lying on my bathroom floor summoning the Devil to come take my heart.
Nothing but rage and a candle glow came from my apartment.
Sage and anecdotes couldn’t keep my thoughts pure not this thyme, so I close my eyes and I summon the Devil one last time.
He stared into my soul and said “Are you sure you want to do this so young, you’re a beautiful girl you could figure it out down the road somehow”,
I said “I will stop you now stranger with your face, stop telling which side of me to embrace, you don’t know the cruel I’m capable of.”
A bit confused he said
“You just look like an Angel”
“Don’t you know I was born to replace the Devil.”
So he took out his book and he told me to sign with my blood, just like the others.
I remember the smell of a thousand dead corpses rotting,
and I knew this was the right thing to do with the way I have been feeling lately.
Now I can be as crazy as this life has made me.
On my bathroom floor laughing with the Devil,
he’s become my best friend,
Til I look around and I realize I’m sitting there by myself.
There’s a little bit of Devil in all of us,
sometimes you got to know what side of the mirror to trust.
Breathe, release, that beast.
You’re not half as crazy as you make yourself out to be.
