Devil 'n Me


my dreams are so rarely remembered
I sleep so peacefully
but last night I slept so deep
the devil came to me

she asked me for my number
she asked me for my song
she took away my music
I knew then she was wrong

why would you take what you know is my lifeline
why take what is most important to me
is it just to be cruel or do you have a point
we never got to clarity

so she comes to me in dreams
to stimulate my fears
threatening my life
drowning me in tears

but if I am not afraid
then she is powerless
truth be told, plans be made,
fear's the devil in me I guess

standing on the deck we heard the water
turning we could see it a mile high
knowing I would lose if I fought her
I just looked the devil in the eye
holding on to something soft and solid
anchored in this life like earth and sky
was it just a dream or was it knowledge
that was when I learned to say goodbye

and I rose with the waters
and I gasped my last breath
and I gave up this life
and I embraced death

and I was not afraid
and she was powerless
truth be told, plans be made
fear is what makes a mess
fear makes us the devils slave
fear's the devil inside I guess

she comes to me in dreams
manipulates my fears
threatening my life
drowning me in tears

but if I'm not afraid
then she is powerless
truth be told, plans be made
fear is what makes the mess
fear makes us the devil's slave
fear consumes the love you gave
fear disguised screams just behave!
fear corrupts happiness
truth be told, plans be made
fear's the devil in me I guess
fear's the devil in me I guess
  fear's the devil in me...

god bless
