Devil,s Whisper

Yeah, keep your eyes open wide The silence is where he hides Don't let the shadow inside Midnight static on the low-fi frequency A cold wind blowing with a dark efficiency I’m standing in the kitchen, floorboards creaking loud While a silver-tongued demon starts to weave a shroud He says the world is yours if you just take the blade Cut the ties to every single promise that you made He’s counting all my sins like they were gold in a vault Everything that’s broken now is someone else’s fault He tells me that the fire is just a warmer kind of light And the only way to win is to give up on the fight His breath smells like sulfur and the lies are sweet Like a heavy heavy chain dragging on the concrete street Listen carefully when the devil whispers in your ear He’s feeding on the doubt and he’s breathing in the fear Gold on his tongue but there’s venom in his chest Promising you heaven while he puts your soul to rest Yeah, listen carefully to every single word The loudest invitation that you never should have heard He knows the exact point where the pressure makes a crack He’s offering a map but there is no way coming back He tells me that my friends are just enemies in masks Emptying the poison from a dozen glass flasks I see his reflection in the polished black chrome Claiming that the darkness is my only true home He says the crown is waiting if I trample on the weak The power is a mountain that the chosen ones seek He’s painting pretty pictures on a canvas made of dust Turning every silver lining into jagged flakes of rust One hand on my shoulder while the other holds the key To a cage he built specifically to keep a lock on me Listen carefully when the devil whispers in your ear He’s feeding on the doubt and he’s breathing in the fear Gold on his tongue but there’s venom in his chest Promising you heaven while he puts your soul to rest Yeah, listen carefully to every single word The loudest invitation that you never should have heard Don't listen to the voice You still got a choice Turn the volume down Before you start to drown Keep the light close Keep the light close
