The Devil Made Me Do It
01:00

the devil made me do it may just be an excuse
but it's the excuse i always use
reaching for salvation with this old tired right hand
is just something i always do
no the devil isn't real but he sure feels real to me
i don't believe the devil is waiting down in hell
but sometimes i still feel damned
it's all fairy stories it's only in my head
and i wrote this line with my left hand

Vampire Halloween

we worshipped the devil on that halloween
i dressed like a vampire, i even had the teeth
guess it was already over, two days later she killed me
guess i took it pretty badly, i hid in my bed for weeks
but i don't know why 'cause it wasn't all that great
don't remember much else
it was a vampire halloween
i met someone sometime later analyzing horror films
she was dating this french guy, i lived right above him
they broke up before summer, so i asked her on a date
we went out and had a good time, but even still i had to wait
we got together that fall
said she loved me at a party
i still had the teeth
it was a vampire halloween
we broke up that winter for some things we can't change
i know i really loved her, still miss her to this day
felt lonely all summer, just the devil by my side
summer turned to autumn, and tonight's the devil's night
i still have the teeth
for halloween tomorrow
but this year i'll be alone
on vampire halloween

From a Haunted Room
02:18
|

|
there's a ghost in my room
can't help getting this feeling of impending doom
i guess i gotta give the devil his due
there's a ghost in my room
lonely days ahead and lonely days behind
feels like i've been lonely for most my goddamn life
no one but the devil would give me any time
but now i'm seeing something out the corner of mine eye
sounds just like footsteps been keeping me awake
sometimes i'm hearing voices but the words i cannot make (out)
feel someone standing o'er me when i open my eyes
but there's no one there and it happens every night
i wish that he would come out so i could see his face
i could use a friend to keep me company in this place
there's something so familiar, think i might know who he is
but i just can't place it, he keeps himself well hid

Only the Devil Knows

everynightihavethisdream where you take a walk with me
we walk along a river bank
i fall in and start to scream
i reach out to grab your hand, but you don't reach back to me
i see a smirk creep on your face
and hear you laugh so hellishly
as i see you standing there
wonder where the river goes
will it lead me anywhere?
i guess only the devil knows
the water's cold and moving quickly
it seems the river never ends
how can you just stand there laughing when i though you were my friend?
i can see you getting smaller but you never disappear
i try to swim against the current but dry land never comes near
the nightmare keeps on getting stronger
i think this is the worst one yet
every time i think i'm dying i wake up in a cold sweat
there is no hope
there is no safety
least as far as i can tell
if a dream can mean something
then i guess this must be hell

Como los muertos
05:45

like the dead
you walk like the dead in the darkness of your dreams
i wonder how you got this way, how you got so sad
you look like you've seen a ghost
you look like the dead
you're not dead
but you're not alive
your sickness is invisible, but it is real
your sickness is yours and yours alone
the window is open
the thoughts fly out
the day ends
you sleep
you sleep like the dead

Bugs

bugs
bugs in the bathtub
bugs on the sofa
bugs in your teeth
slime runs down the walls
and onto the pavement
like crooked rain
so go home
there's nothing to show
we walk like glass
feeling so broke
teeth
blackened and twisted
broken and busted
the teeth in your dreams
dreams
blackened and twisted
broken and busted
like crooked teeth
brains
brains in the bathtub
blood on the walls
gun in your hand
i feel a bit jealous
jealous of your freedom
you're free from the bugs

Please Excuse the Ghost
01:59

|
please excuse the ghost
perfectly harmless
don't be afraid
i know they can be scary, but he's not
he's just a friend
i don't often let people see this side of me
so please don't run off
everything's fine
you'll see
you'll get used to it, he makes a great host
so please excuse the ghost
please excuse the ghost
he's just the ghost of my past
i've kept him tamed
he comes around, but doesn't last

Sin
02:44
|
|||
|
i'm alone inside this room, but it feels more like a tomb
and i realise that the ghost i saw is me
i am sinking in a hole, and the devil's got my soul
no matter what i do, he just won't set me free
it gets darker every day, wonder how i got this way
damn it used to never feel like this before
i was happier back then when i had a million friends
now even getting out of bed feels like a chore
i hope there will be a day
when i can look back at this in say
it'll never be like this again
but for now i just feel like sin
they try to tell me what i need
"You need Jesus, can't you see? Or you'll go to Hell and burn eternally."
but believe me i've seen hell
'cause i am already there
and the devil, he exists inside of me
and i've read your holy book so save me all your dirty looks
if i'm gonna beat him, i can beat him on my own
at least learn to coexist
yeah, maybe that's the key to this
a brand new shiny key to my new home
i know there will come a day

i took a drive for the first time in a while to see some roads i haven't seen i got a prayer card of st. dymphna on my dash it helps to keep my mind clean i know it helps even if it's only in my head now you might think it's odd that i pray to a saint most every day when i don't believe in god i'm trying to learn to love myself learn to make the most of hell it's a damn fine day to be alone now that me and the devil get along
at least for the day the pains all gone now that me and the devil get along
