lyrics

ALL DEVILS

don't know what it meant to me end of the century i left someone behind but i didn't know our days were numbered. the slumber you took it was long it was deep and i had the chance to do things in your sleep blunt were the blades and so i failed. the back of the house looks out on the garden i see birds of prey waiting to be pardoned but i dont know what they want from me. were starting to jones for the taste of lifes bones you'll never provide and im so tired and ive not even tried.

(chorus) would all devils go exit me, all devils i don't want to know, all devils leave everyone, well see you when were below

sister your bed is soon to be left I'm unwell when i stay,i've taken a new moon it pulls me away. to worship the living to hell with the spoils enjoy getting burned when it boils over i'm not the crop i am the harvester.
and ill ask me a favour its time to rely on  some other thing you mostly deny with such a distance before and behind. if i had to decide between money and time i choose prevention of a need or a love of man made inventions.
(brk)
over state lines away from prying eyes ill sneak by unnoticed ill be so far away and ill be the closest. ill come with my armour ill come my guns blazing it felt so good to feel so crazy to struggle and fight like a thing in a mouth.

(chorus)
