The Devil You Know lyrics

Spit venom at me my bleak enemy

The Devil you know

Consistently cold, no love to withhold

The Devil you know

Salt in my wounds, but I don't resent

This cleansing contempt

As I fake a desperate bliss

That alchemy cannot fix

This shameless disdain keeps both of us sane

The Devil you know

An honest untruth we both fail to prove

The Devil you know

A future doomed as a malcontent

In loveless lament

So I wake to infinite lists

Of agonies that persist

Words insincere, gracelessly rehearsed

Keeping us here, this abyss deserved

Oh, the Devil's closer than we admit

We turn a blind eye to make someone fit

Spit venom at me, a brief remedy

The Devil you know

This shameless disdain profoundly profane

The Devil you know

In threadbare rooms so little is left

That we represent

And we face a festering kiss

That apathy can't dismiss

A poison we take to lessen the ache

The Devil you know

So freely enslaved from cradle to grave

The Devil you know

The Devil you know
