Devil Walks Lyrics

You said you had a special set of skills

That could ruin me cause I ain't learn my lesson still

I said "I bet you won't", you said you bet you will

Feel like the love of my life is aboutta get me killed

Cuz I got no doubt in mind that I would die for you

I've learned to love the pain and strife that you've been fightin through

Cuz I just wanna prove my hurt as somethin serious

But he just wanna turn (ellipsis | ellipses) to a period

I feel his energy enough to have to write this down

But you just say he's all you want, you gotta try him out

And his grip is knockin us out of alignment now

Like he's a god among men determined to strike me down

You saw him in your dreams, he's slowly taking hold

Of everything you hold dear and you bout to pay the toll

I feel my hopes for our love are about to break and fold

But I'll risk everything tonight just to save your soul

I'm the prophet witness

Abandoned house you squattin in is where my coffin sittin

But you tell me it'd be fine if I just stop and listen

And wait my turn cause underneath it all we're not so different

But I admit he's everything I wish I was

A testament to what the absence of a limit does

To a famished heart that's aching for a sip of love

He has a place in you, and I'm a "just because"

But I know it's just a matter of time

Before he puts his hands on you to keep you trapped and in line

He's a wildfire burnin in the back of my mind

And now I'm chained to the rhythm of this passionate crime

I guess you never know sin until you live through it

You're under his spell; I'm under the influence

And even in abstinence the wicked cycle never stops

And so an angel falls, and so the devil walks

And so the devil walks

And so an angel falls, and so the devil walks
