Devil is Me

Devil you know

You thought you knew him but he’s the devil

He sits in the backseat words whispered

But you know him for he is you

Your intuition doesn’t lie but this time he did

So you know him real well

You both have a burger at the bar and grill

We both have love for our enemies

But we don’t see the enemy is only me

How can I love me when I motherfucking hate myself

So I see what is front of me but behind me is me

But it’s never behind me for it’s here again today

The devil I know is me but I don’t recognize the image in the mirror

The devil you know creeps up without a word but silence

Devil you know is you look in the mirror

Devil is the devil you know
