The devils smile, the looks that kill
I'll down you like this box of pills
The demons hide beneath your bed
No worse then the ones inside your head
Your crooked smile, your black tooth grin
Go so well with this shot of gin
You leaned in close and then you said
I like being the voice inside your head
The voice inside your head
One foggy night the cross roads call
Didn't know I had a soul at all
Didn't believe but now I know
It is my soul that I now owe
Wait ten years time and then you'll see
I got hell hounds chasing after me
Is this for real? It's in my head
Shouldn't've crawled into the devils bed
The devils bed
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh
The devils smile, the looks that kill
I'll down you like this box of pills
The demons hide beneath your bed
No worse then the ones inside your head
You play these games but all will lose
No one could be the devils muse
Listen close when you hear it said
Shouldn't crawl into the devils bed
The devils bed
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhh ohhhhh ohhhh
(Solo)

Now listen to what I have to say
For the wicked hide in the shadows of this day
You know nothing of what is of me
You may know the color of my eyes
But not of what they are capable to see
Now here, I've warned this upon you
For not every smile is ever true
Everything is not set in stone
You may say there is an answer
When nothing is completely known
Close your eyes, please understand
That what you may rely on is a blood-thirsty hand
Unknown of what they truly are
Watch think before you turn and talk
Someone so close to you can be so far
So remember before you go on and say
"But why would anyone do this to me anyway?"
Human nature can be full of evil and greed
Unwatched, A monster born within the shadows, full only of self pleasure and need.
Clocks slow to a crawl time creeps it's deceit
Some days lack ambition no spring in my seat
Pounding heart sure to cave won't endure it's fatigued
Need mighty endowment strength stability proceed
This pen hits the paper racing heart slowly calms
I believe in my words the sweat dries from my palms
Trembling hands quieten be sturdy as steel
I take a deep breath... Now to enjoy how I feel

comfortably nestled in between two rocks
above the stillness overlooking the small village
flattened black tar rooftops
steep cobblestone paved streets
winding around the southern tip of the mountain
a bicycle ride away
too far to touch the bitter memories
my gaze is locked into a numbing trance
time stands still

...........
Chasing the tails of the thoughts round my head
Sweat tattered hair in a dream addled bed
Fingers in ears humming fret threads away
Palpitations, breath racing, oh yey! a new day.
Stripped of control, coping gold leaf thin
Tootling off round the nice tight bend
Game face is melting, watch out for the cracks
Fought life for this me and I want it back!
Disbelief, fury and tiredness by turns
Is there no bloody end to the grinding churn
Good days mistrusted then bad days withstood
Willfully, nastily, misunderstood
How much is enough? Burned body or mind?
Institutionalised daftness and soft focus lies
Good human nature - you daft trusting cow
Time for the brakes? I'd say just about now.
Too risky to leave? Too risky to stay!
Words my headstone will NOT say;
She stood by the job while it used her all up
A faithful old workhorse, goodbye and bad luck.
