Pale Moonlight Lyrics

Made a deal with the devil
Put me down on my knees
Like a cult or religion
Trade my soul for a dream

There's no cure to my darkness
Only perfect disease
When my depression takes over
You're the one thing I need
Synthetic therapy

(Dance with the devil
Slave 'til the end)

If you want to see how I run right back to killing myself, taking my time
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

At the end of every dream, there's a demon saying I
Didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Made a deal with the devil
An apparition that bleeds
What's the price of your body
If it is taken for free

Yeah I was starved for attention
But you can take it from me
If there's a hell underneath us
That's where you will find me

If you want to see how I run right back to killing myself, taking my time
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

At the end of every dream, there's a demon saying I
Didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Dance with the devil
Slave 'til the end
Beg for the dirt when they find you in a coffin
(Beg for the dirt when they find you in a coffin)
(Dance with the devil
Slave 'til the end)

If you want to see how I run right back to killing myself, taking my time
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

At the end of every dream, there's a demon saying I
Didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Didn't need help to ruin my life
Dancing with the devil in the pale moonlight

Dance with the devil
Slave 'til the end
Beg for the dirt when they find you in a coffin
