Do you hold your pillow tight?
Do you scream for me in the night?
Dreams of wonder and bliss
Hindered from fear and loss of all of this

Never knowing what to believe
Is this real or all just a crazy fantasy
Search to the ends of the earth
Just to prove one's self worth

Always reaching for the stars
Yet falling to the oceans floors
Swimming and flying yet still can't make it
Constant situations without retribution

Behave yourself they always say
Yet you can't keep away
Walking through life feeling as if u r a stray
Never able to find you peace for it's a figment of your imagination

Law of physics what goes up must come down
No one ever said your only up is waking up
For your downs are long and hard
And your ups are few and in between

Your dreams are a form of prostitution
Selling yourself with hopes of a grander life
To only realize your short comings
Then you quickly fall on your face

Testimonies from those who made it
Yet the words fall on deaf ears
For words don't feed your appetite
Nor do they fill you with joy

Hopelessness and helplessness in your future
Life of grand adventure doesn't wait you Devil Man
You can only be what you are and who you are
The devil, antichrist, sinner, fornicator, adulterer.

Let my wings burn from my body
Let my halo burn in the depths of my hell
Let me emerge from my flames fresh and new
I am the Devil I come to play!
