Mephisto

One more time then I'll know

one more lie then I'll go away

pour another drink

and I'll ease myself into the comforts of your philosophy

try to understand your friend in need and I'm here to make it easier

you and I are one in the same

we're built alike in so many ways

you can't understand and you won't accept

your secrets are all safely kept here

inside we're so lost

I can be the one to find you

everything that you deserve

no request will ever go unheard

you're better off without me now

but without me here you're just better off alone

just wait and see

you're just like me

conversation's getting stale

a penny for your thoughts

one small betrayal

does no man know what he's good for

does no man want what he's asked for

it takes our design

I've spent a lifetime waiting for the chance to chase these devils away

but they always come smiling when you need 'em the most

so I'll end this night alone again

with nothing to offer and nothing to give conversations spoken in vein alone

so go away it's easier if I stay so go away its easier this way
