Better The Devil
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.
Under my boot. Every snow flake looks the same
Beneath the scars there's an empty spell cast in vain
Inside those walls. The little voices know my name
Below black stars these old dirty streets have no shame
Tear my soul apart. Drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star if you promise that you'll never let me go
Better the devil you know. Better the devil you know
The squeaky wheel is the weakest link in the chain
I see the cut but I still can't feel the fucking pain
Between these walls there's a tiny chance I could refrain
Below black stars an even smaller chance I will complain
Tear my soul apart. Drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star if you promise that you'll never let me go to hell
with nothing left to show. Set me on fire and revel in the glow
Tear my soul apart. Drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star if you promise that you'll never let me go
Better the devil you know. Better the devil you know
