作词 : Smither | |
The devil ain't a legend, the devil's real | |
In the empty way he touched me, where I hardly feel | |
In the empty hole inside me, the nothing that'll ride me | |
Down into my grave, it does not heal | |
Nothing is as something, it'll suck you dry | |
As the whisper you can hardly hear that tells you why. | |
They told me "You ain't got no problems, you're self-deceived" | |
These seeming contradictions, well they make believe | |
It was then that I decided my life was being guided | |
By a second-rate dependence on first-class thieves | |
They told me I was breaking through, I was breaking down | |
By the time I learned the difference they had long left town. | |
You know that they ain't so malicious, they ain't mean | |
They're just vaguely well-intentioned with no love I've seen | |
And it's the emptiness that kills you, cold comfort that'll fill you | |
With a sense of dread that maybe things are worse than they seem | |
They don't tell you nothing you don't already know | |
They just keep holding out the promise but they don't let go | |
You know they don't let go. | |
Well, it was hard luck and trouble, bad times too | |
I know I had 'em coming, but I got through | |
It was advice that you gave me in a dream that saved me | |
You said "Get a new life contract that spells out your dues." | |
Took good will to find it, a clear conscience to sign it | |
Now I dream about the good times and it all comes true. |
