You never knew me
She's left me hurting before
Voyage without phare
Two-way mirror warped
You see what you want to see
I see who I am
I stand motionless
Can't you see me crying out
Embrace to soothe pain
Instead, comfort me
You blame me, push me away,
Your choice if I stay
You guess why I'm alone
Who can truly understand
Just go and move on
It had taken time for him to open my eyes
And realize he lived a life full of lies
It had taken him time to realize
He's too callus to cry
He's cornered, and there is nothing he can do
Now he sings the devil's blues
Inside is a pain from a time of old
Suppressed so tight in the heart of coal
The world struck a spark that set ablaze his soul
Now he's consumed by rock and roll
His flesh is reflecting the colors of his muse
Now he sings the devil's blues
He's in the dark, feeling the temperature rise
He screams at the top of lungs, enrage
LIES
LIES
LIES
LIES...
Unable to control the rage
Now he's in hell, unable to turn the page
This boy decided to play the game and was used
Now he's singing the devil's blues
Oh, now it's time to pay the devil's dues
Now you know why you sing the devil's blues
It's so sad. I know it hurts
He should have known when a naked person offered him their shirt
Nothing left to do
But sing the devil's blues
When I look in the mirror
Never have I felt so bad
As if I was going mad
Not until I punch the glass
Seeing the shattered image of the damned
I can finally see myself for who I am,
You think you know, but you don't know
Creating false worlds and believing them equivalent to my own
You weave this tapestry of exasperation incensed by madness over my inability to recognize my own narcissism
