Seven Devils

Somberly I sit alone watching while the city glows

Keeping to myself, walking on my tippy-toes

So silent but locked in with the witty prose

To propose as confident when talking to the pretty folks

And they're so awkward in their videos

Lost within a spinning globe, nauseous and it's getting old

Oh I can see it on their face I don't get a lot of praise

I'll bet I'll posthumously get it though

So I can let it go go I guess

Ninety-nine percent of one-percenters don't exist

I wine and dine with letters as a pleasure opiate

To bring my mind back to the center 'fore the medics open it

So here's another piece of me forgotten and ignored

Another piece I sharpened with a sword

The apple of my eye, she was rotten to the core

So I left her in the trash where she belongs and I've long since ignored

I know there's aphids in my chest to get

The butterflies I'm feeling when I strain to make the best of it

I run and hide to heal again from basic taste of death I'm getting

From the times of dealing with relationship-recklessness

And now I'm hiding in the night

Cause it's a full moon and the lycans tend to bite

There's lighting in between my eyelids and it's frightening when it strikes

And it might get me blinded by the light

It's so quiet in a sense, the silence just reflects

There's a crisis in my head from the vices I possess

And the prices that I set on the diamonds I collect

Well I guess except one cause I hide it in my chest

Seven devils in my head saying they're a friend

Seven devils in my head playing their pretend

Seven devils placing bets, seven devils made of flesh

Seven devils in my head craving for attention

Seven devils in my head making their amends

Seven devils in my head waiting for the end

Seven devils made a pledge, seven devils playing dead

Seven devils in my head saying they're a friend

I always believe you why don't you believe me

I got a desk full of papers left for the tapeworms

Breath full of Tanqueray left from the anger

Head full of anchors, bed full of strangers

That I think I met I forget what their names were

So i'll smile while I grit my teeth

Dimethyltryptamine high I can get from dreams

Fine, I'll show why I'm a different breed

Jim Morrison tip, I am the lizard king

It's like A Clockwork Orange

Cody DeLarge show me your heart

A star is born okay

Pull me apart I can watch the gore and say

I'm showing your god what scars are for today

I write along right along a dotted line to write a poem

Cause I've been on a higher height of flight to fight the tiresome

I am just uninspired violent fired up

Carcass that's been caught in constant carnage so don't try to run

My eyes adjust in size when the light erupts

I like the touch smell taste and the sight of blood

What I don't think that's what I meant

So here's a snow angel that I'll leave in the cement

Let's take a drink to the secrets that I kept

Just between us and another for the pieces that I left

In a sequence and I hoped that you would read it and it said

That there's one too many of these fucking demons in my head
