"Devil In Wait" lyrics

"Devil In Wait"

Take another piece, a part of me
Breaking me apart, spiraling
I can hear the walls crumbling down around me
This is the end of all we know, it's biblical
There's no escape from the devil in wait

Promises fill the bottle, poison on a silver spoon
Partake from the venom gospel, acting like you are immune
So reap what you sow and swallow them whole
The lies you sugarcoat, we'll shove 'em down your throat
We'll shove 'em down your throat

They mean nothing
The promises you made, the life that you create
And oh, the irony
I love to complain, doing the same thing, same thing

Take a little more, take the final piece
Pulling me apart, I'm unraveling
I can feel the ground from the angels falling down
I can see my whole life fucking shattering
This is the fall of all we know, it's carved in stone
No escape from the devil in wait

Promises fill the bottle, poison on a silver spoon
Partake from the venom gospel, acting like you are immune
So reap what you sow and swallow them whole
The lies you sugarcoat, we'll shove 'em down your throat

They mean nothing
The promises you made, the life that you create
And oh, the irony
I love to complain, doing the same thing, same thing
I'm doing the same thing

I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees
I keep running from the devil, but the devil is me

The devil is me
