Every time I pray

It only seems like things get worse and worse

Every time I try to hold my head high

It only seems hopeless

Suddenly I’m thinking about giving up

Living in a world of fuck ups

My money’s slim

My face is hard

Marching to the beat of my own drum now

I just feel like giving it all up

Chorus: The Devil’s got a hold of me

I can’t say no, I can’t say no

The pain is flowing throughout my system

It’s the pain, It’s the pain

The Devil’s haunting me

He’s laughing at this catatonic state of mind

He’s playing games with my mind

Turning it off and turning it on again and again

I got him crawling beneath my skin

I got him crawling beneath my skin

Every time I try to love

It seems my body caves in

My soul gets tugged out

And everybody just walks about

Like it’s all a game

Every time I try to care

It seems to all crumble

Shifting me like grain

I’m falling crumbling in the palm of his hand

I’m not blessed now

The perdition of my soul isn’t too far now

Chorus: The Devil’s got a hold of me…

A shard of glass

A needle in the vein

It’s all the same as long as I can feel the pain

They say pain

Makes you stronger

They say love

Makes you live longer

I’m the one that they lied to

I’m the one, I’m the one (Repeat to end)
