Devil

The World is held in a spider’s web of roads, it’s easy to go wrong

There are so many crossroads you might just stumble upon

There are voices in my head, there are strangers just waiting there

I lied when I swore that I never knew who I’d been talking to – he said

How do you want it? How do you do?

How do you want it to come to you?

And so down the stairway, down the hall,

past familiar blood stains on the wall

I double-crossed myself and find I’m at the open door

And what a welcome I received, arms around each other

It was hard to tell which one of us was the more pleased

How do you want it? How do you do? How do you want it to come to you?

Because if you look for me, you will find me, you will find me

And if you look for me, so you will find me, you will find me

Some do anything not to be lonely, some do anything just to stay in the game

Some build a wall around themselves and pretend that everything’s the same,

Mirror, mirror on the wall – tell me that I’m loveable

Tell me that I’m here at all…

How do you want it? How do you do? How do you want it to come to you?

Because if you look for me, you will find me, you will find me

And if you look for me, so you will find me, you will find me

They took me down to the Tree of Knowledge and said that I must resist

And all I could think was – what kind of stupid joke is this?

Not to want to know and feel everything that exists

Behind the curtain drawn by self-appointed control freaks and their apologists

And then there’s all that crazy superstitious stuff

Like remembering to take salt for throwing over, right hand, left shoulder

While all I could hear was the best tunes playing through the glass

It’s strange what you can understand but still never really grasp

And all you have to do is learn to turn the other way

As people around you suffer, well, it’s easy, people suffer every day

And then you find you’re in a trap of your own making, it holds you in its clutch

Because once you’ve touched the poison, you poison everything you touch

If you look for me, you will find me, you will find me

And if you look for me, so you will find me, you will find me
