The Devil In Me

Lyrics

When the devil in me 
met the devil in you 
the earth stood still 
and I knew just what to do 
everything else looked like 
it was painted on 

climbed inside her head 
like a spider 
did my best to 
curl up beside her 
made my nest and 
drew the darkness in 
behind me 

unfurl your demon 
wrapped up in black leather 
anger the fire 
that burns the rope tethered 
a lifetime breeding 
one hurt at a time 

criss cross cuts 
across my flesh 
the serpent uncurls 
to fight to the death 
ready to unleash ts wrath 
upon the world 

you've been hurt 
too many times 
there's no love left 
and rage is blind 
the red mist descends 
the knives come out at dawn 

when the devil in me 
met the devil in you 
there was no limit left 
to what we could do 
spreading our brand of revenge 
upon the world 

when the devil in me 
met the devil in you 
there was blood on the highway 
and fire in the sky 
and before the night was through 
many more would die. 

Someone's always gotta pay 
for the vicious pain and cruel words 
suffered by the child 
whose cries were never heard 

cos that pain 
never goes away 
it just grows more bitter 
by the day 
until one day 
it becomes fully formed 

when the devil in me 
met the devil in you 
there was nothing left 
we couldn't do 
we could paint our 
names in blood 
upon the sky.
