Devil

The World is held in a spider’s web of roads
It’s easy to go wrong
There are so many crossroads
You might just stumble upon
There are voices in my head
There are strangers just waiting there
I lied when I swore that I never knew
Who I’d been talking to he said
How do you want it? How do you do?
How do you want it to come to you?

And so down the stairway, down the hall
Past familiar blood stains on the wall
I double-crossed myself
And find I’m at the open door
And what a welcome I received
Arms around each other
It was hard to tell which one of us
Was the more pleased
How do you want it? How do you do?
How do you want it to come to you?

Because if you look for me
You will find me, you will find me
And if you look for me
So you will find me, you will find me

Some do anything not to be lonely
Some do anything just to stay in the game
Some build a wall around themselves
And pretend that everything’s the same
Mirror, mirror on the wall tell me that I’m loveable
Tell me that I’m here at all

How do you want it? How do you do?
How do you want it to come to you?
Because if you look for me
You will find me, you will find me
And if you look for me
So you will find me, you will find me

They took me down to the Tree of Knowledge
And said that I must resist
And all I could think
Was what kind of stupid joke is this?
Not to want to know
And feel everything that exists
Behind the curtain drawn by self-appointed control freaks
And their apologists
And then there’s all that crazy superstitious stuff
Like remembering to take salt for throwing over
Right hand, left shoulder
While all I could hear
Was the best tunes playing through the glass
It’s strange what you can understand
But still never really grasp
And all you have to do
Is learn to turn the other way
As people around you suffer, well
It’s easy, people suffer every day
And then you find you’re in a trap of your own making
It holds you in its clutch
Because once you’ve touched the poison
You poison everything you touch

If you look for me, you will find me, you will find me
And if you look for me
So you will find me, you will find me
