A devil's tail underneath my door
I'll let him loose when I see fit
It's funny how he never bothered me before
but then again I don't smell shit until I step in it.
A devil's tongue inside my mouth
I hate the taste but I don't spit it out.
Am I nothing without my words
even when they stem from cavities?
and the company I keep
is the company that keeps me.
A devil's will in the pit of my stomach
I hunger for things that do not satisfy
I've tasted lust and I've tasted wine
both of which never seem to fulfill my appetite
nothing seems to fulfill my appetite.
and the company I keep
is the company that keeps me.
