The devil in my eyes
It took a long time to see what I fail to be with that
Devil in my soul
How could I know the heed in what I sow with that
Devil in my heart
I tripped into a valley of death to all I sought when that
Devil took my pride

He took it all
He beat me down
He praised my fall but that

Devil didn’t win
I stood before my God
I prayed for love
He blessed my heart 
He cleansed my soul
He opened my eyes
And now
I see

What will it take to stay outta my head? A guard standing watch over a barb-wired fence? Just my luck
There’s an alley not too far round the way I better come strapped with a flashlight and blade As shadows flicker by I feel more like a ghost
I keep drifting As I come to a fork in the road Pace back and forth
Bite my nails Beat that drum I keep playing that tape I don’t know where to turn I reach for the first thing to calm my nerves But the last thing I need is what happens in return So what will it take to stay outta my head? Both means to this story lead to the same end
