Lyrics
Devil In The Details
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A house of cards
A supple heart
Is not a place to dwell
Now you have your cake
Don't hesitate
Come on just do it,
Come on just do it
Put it in your mouth
There is only now
Tomorrow has to wait
But know there's no backing out
This is gonna be reality
You can never dream it down
I have No way
Of telling
The two apart
Well I made amends
In the general sense
But the devil's in the details
And I know the cause
And I want to stop
But I can't do it,
I just can't do it
There was love unmeant
There were accidents
So tell me which is which
'Cus I just can't work it out
But for memory and clarity
We had better write it down
I have no way
Of knowing the truth
With tongues of… (?)
I put the past into the ground
I saw the future as a cloud
If theres still time to turn around
Im going to
Its just one day I fell asleep
And all day all night I dreamed
I am the first one I deceive
If I can make myself believe
The rest is easy…
