Shake It Out

Regrets collect like old friends

Here to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way, I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

And every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues drawn

But it's always darkest before the dawn

And I've been a fool and I've been blind

I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way, I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around

All of these questions, such a mournful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

So I like to keep my issues drawn

But it's always darkest before the dawn

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

And it's hard to dance

With a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa

And I'm damned if I do it

I'm damned if I don't

So here's to drinks in the dark

At the end of my road

And I'm ready to suffer

And I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark

And right at my throat

'Cause looking for heaven

Found a devil in me

Looking for heaven

Found a devil in me

Well, what the hell?

I'm gonna let it happen to me

Shake it out, shake it out

Shake it out, shake it out, oh whoa

And it's hard to dance

With a devil on your back

So shake him off, oh whoa
