The devil

Do I tread where demons fear
Only to find it's not here
Do I stray off the path
Only to walk on glass

Do I ignore you when you need me
Because you're too needy
Do I say I love you
When I know it's not true

Yes
I have things I'd like to confess
But I will not
Because that would ruin what, to you, I've taught

I'm careful
I'm fearful
I'm nervous
I'm not sure of us

It will be fine you say
But you don't see the same day
Come with me you say
But even with you, I'll stray away

The devil is supposed to be brutal
But I tear you apart everyday
You learned trust, but I became your betrayal
Now the devil has wished me away

Heartless
Stone cold
I sleep on the ground
Love me you might, but I'm the one who kicks you around

Cry
Watch the tears sizzle on your skin
Acid rain
Falls on your heart within

They say the devil is cruel
I've met him. He's just a fool
Infatuation
With this evil fascination

But I've figured out
He's not what they claim he is all about
He's weak and needy
The devil, he says he needs me

Love is not present
Neither is hate
Love me, but you mustn't
I'll only let you fade away
