Seven Devils

Somberly I sit alone watching while the city glows/keeping to myself, walking on my tippy-toes/so silent but locked in with the witty prose
to propose as confident when talking to the pretty folks/and they're so awkward in their videos/lost within a spinning globe, nauseous and it's getting old
oh I can see it on their face I don't get a lot of praise/I'll bet I'll posthumously get it though/so I can let it go go I guess
ninety-nine percent of one-percenters don't exist/I wine and dine with letters as a pleasure opiate
to bring my mind back to the center 'fore the medics open it/so here's another piece of me forgotten and ignored/another piece I sharpened with a sword
the apple of my eye, she was rotten to the core/so I left her in the trash where she belongs and I've long since ignored
I know there's aphids in my chest to get /the butterflies I'm feeling when I strain to make the best of it
I run and hide to heal again from basic taste of death I'm getting/from the times of dealing with relationship-recklessness
and now I'm hiding in the night/'cause it's a full moon and the lycans tend to bite/there's lighting in between my eyelids and it's frightening when it strikes
and it might get me blinded by the light.


It's so quiet in a sense, the silence just reflects/there's a crisis in my head from the vices I possess
and the prices that I set on the diamonds I collect/well I guess except one 'cause I hide it in my chest.


Seven devils in my head saying they're a friend/seven devils in my head playing their pretend
seven devils placing bets, seven devils made of flesh/seven devils in my head craving for attention
seven devils in my head making their amends/seven devils in my head waiting for the end
seven devils made a pledge, seven devils playing dead/seven devils in my head saying they're a friend.


I always believe you why don't you believe me


I got a desk full of papers left for the tapeworms /breath full of Tanqueray left from the anger/head full of anchors, bed full of strangers
that I think I met I forget what their names were/so i'll smile while I grit my teeth
dimethyltryptamine high I can get from dreams/fine, I'll show why I'm a different breed
Jim Morrison tip, I am the lizard king/it's like A Clockwork Orange/Cody DeLarge show me your heart/a star is born okay
pull me apart I can watch the gore and say/I'm showing your god what scars are for today/I write along right along a dotted line to write a poem
'cause I've been on a higher height of flight to fight the tiresome/I am just uninspired violent fired up
carcass that's been caught in constant carnage so don't try to run/my eyes adjust in size when the light erupts/I like the touch smell taste and the sight of blood
what I don't think that's what I meant/so here's a snow angel that i'll leave in the cement
let's take a drink to the secrets that I kept/just between us and another for the pieces that I left
in a sequence and I hoped that you would read it and it said/that there's one too many of these fucking demons in my head.
