Mephisto

One more time then I'll know

One more lie then I'll go

Pour another drink

And I'll ease myself

Into the comforts of your philosophy

Try to understand your friend in need

And I'm here to make it easier

You and I are one in the same

We're built alike in so many ways

You can't understand

And you won't accept

Your secrets are all

Safely kept here

Inside we're so lost

I can be the one to find you

Everything that you deserve

No request will ever go unheard

You're better off without me now

But without me here

You're better off alone

Just wait and see

You're just like me

Conversation's getting stale

A penny for your thoughts

One small betrayal

Does no man know what he's good for?

Does no man want what he's asked for?

It takes our design

I've spent a lifetime

Waiting for the chance

To chase these devils away

But they always come smiling

When you need 'em the most

So I'll end this night alone again

With nothing to offer

And nothing to give

Conversations spoken in vein alone

So go away

It's easier if I stay

So go away

It's easier this way
