These nightmares drive me crazy
They keep my heart a fuming high
I feed the devil caffeine while he
While he bleeds my ears dry
He speaks to me of lust and love
Confuses me when he says
«Your lust will never be warm enough
To breathe your love bright red»
Forgive me god
But did you hear what he just said?
He’s backing your words of virtue but
You still hold that gun to his head
«You've got it all wrong»
Spoke the preacher of my song
«The devil only speaks these lies
To keep a razor tongue
To slice open the seams of your brain
Implant frozen embryos
So by the time they thaw and you recall
The devil already has control»
Well I can’t count the times that
That I let him direct my eyes
To the same obscurity that you
You harbor in your heart
It takes one to know one and so I’ve
I’ve spent my days apart
From the lord because the devil said
«It takes light to know the dark»
It takes light to know the dark
It takes light to know the dark
It takes light to know the dark
It takes light to know the dark
