Devil Songtext
Packed up my things
In a car waiting street side
And hauled ass off the east side
Bet you think I didn't cry
Like a bad dream
Somehow I orchestrated
Fell from grace to the pavement
Became someone you hated
In a car waiting street side
And hauled ass off the east side
Bet you think I didn't cry
Like a bad dream
Somehow I orchestrated
Fell from grace to the pavement
Became someone you hated
Sorry doesn't counteract the damage done
Like a coward I run with a smoking gun
I'll let you make the call on what it was
Or what it wasn't
If it helps you, you can hate me
You can drag my name, you can blame me
For wasting like ten whole years of your life
If the memories turn bitter
You can cut my face out the pictures
And I'll bite my tongue 'til I taste metal
And I'll let you paint me like the devil
So I'll refrain
From saying I miss you
Pouring salt in an old wound
After all that we've been through
It might help me sleep at night
To picture you when you're doing fine 'Cause you left the echoes of me behind
Like a sore subject from a different life
If it helps you, you can hate me
You can drag my name, you can blame me
For wasting like ten whole years of your life
If the memories turn bitter
You can cut my face out the pictures
And I'll bite my tongue 'til I taste metal
And I'll let you paint me like the devil
The magnum opus of my crimes
I'm hailing Mary, serving time
I think of what I did to you
And it kind of makes me want to die
Won't ask for absolution
All the blame weighs heavy on my conscience
What you gave and what it cost
You stopped returning all my calls
My good intentions, unimportant
Hurricanes I tried ignoring
Rearranging all the signs
In a convoluted kind of orbit
What the fuck did I expect?
Holding our love tight by its neck
I felt it thrashing while I wept
And I watched it take its final breath
If I were you, I would hate me
I would drag my name, I would blame me
For wasting like ten whole years of your life
If the memories turn bitter
You can cut my face out the pictures
And I'll bite my tongue 'til I taste metal
And I'll let you paint me like the devil
Like a coward I run with a smoking gun
I'll let you make the call on what it was
Or what it wasn't
If it helps you, you can hate me
You can drag my name, you can blame me
For wasting like ten whole years of your life
If the memories turn bitter
You can cut my face out the pictures
And I'll bite my tongue 'til I taste metal
And I'll let you paint me like the devil
So I'll refrain
From saying I miss you
Pouring salt in an old wound
After all that we've been through
It might help me sleep at night
To picture you when you're doing fine 'Cause you left the echoes of me behind
Like a sore subject from a different life
If it helps you, you can hate me
You can drag my name, you can blame me
For wasting like ten whole years of your life
If the memories turn bitter
You can cut my face out the pictures
And I'll bite my tongue 'til I taste metal
And I'll let you paint me like the devil
The magnum opus of my crimes
I'm hailing Mary, serving time
I think of what I did to you
And it kind of makes me want to die
Won't ask for absolution
All the blame weighs heavy on my conscience
What you gave and what it cost
You stopped returning all my calls
My good intentions, unimportant
Hurricanes I tried ignoring
Rearranging all the signs
In a convoluted kind of orbit
What the fuck did I expect?
Holding our love tight by its neck
I felt it thrashing while I wept
And I watched it take its final breath
If I were you, I would hate me
I would drag my name, I would blame me
For wasting like ten whole years of your life
If the memories turn bitter
You can cut my face out the pictures
And I'll bite my tongue 'til I taste metal
And I'll let you paint me like the devil
