DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL

My life is full
Of contradictions
Between the living
And the dead
I'm all alone
With my addictions
It seems like
My sanity's fled

I see no point
In salvation
No golden light 
To point the way
I have made
This dire situation
On the bed
In which I lay

I PUT IT ON THE LEVEL
BUT IT'S NOT ALL IN MY HEAD
THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL'S
BEEN LAYING IN MY BED

I've been laying
Here wide awake
As she's dancing
Naked in the dark
And if only
I had a stake
I could push it
Through her heart

I'm not much
On religion
Oh! But Lord
How I pray
That you come
Take this vision
And make her
Vanish away


I PUT IT ON THE LEVEL
BUT IT'S NOT ALL IN MY HEAD
THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL'S
BEEN LAYING IN MY BED
