Devil Dance

"Dance with the devil and the devil don't change; the devil changes you" - Joaquin Phoenix, //8mm//

Life used to be more simple
I thought I was a master of the game
But it all became a disaster
When one game appeared & love was its name

All I ever wanted was a chance for happiness
So I sold my soul for just one kiss

Just when things are going well
This world I live all goes to Hell
This soap-opera drama I call my life
We're the machinations of a Lunatic's mind

I used to have it figured out
I always had a plan
But I learned the hard way
The devil's stronger than I am

Why do things like this keep happening to me?
Why can't the devil just let me be?
It feels as though I've never had control
Of my own destiny

I wish I had some say
Am I going to live or die today?
Shakespeare was right
"All the world is a stage."

Why do I take everything he throws at me?
Why don't I stand up instead of falling to my knees?
Every time I think things are finally fine
He goes ahead and tries to ruin my life

He's taken everything I ever believed to be true
I can't fight the good fight, not even for you
Because when I look in the mirror, all I see
Is the devil staring back at me
