lyrics

You burn like alcohol inside my veins
Your Trojan horse inside my soul
A Pisces, yes, possess me 'neath your reigns
Behind you, close the bedroom door

I cross my T's on your permission slip
No need to read of what I sign
It's wrong oh no, oh yes I get your gist
Your sickness soon becoming mine

Sometimes I am God, sometimes I'm the devil and tonight
I'm somewhere in between
These sheets
And your skin
And your bones
And your loneliness over on the floor
Next to your clothes

And in the morning as poison subsides
Its half-life hides that we have crossed the line
The line of love and up the wall of lust
That I tore down to keep you satisfied

My levied mind is parched
I do regret
The words I showered just to keep you wet
But when you weathered what I had to give
I had to go again to win

Sometimes I am God, sometimes I'm the devil and last night
I was somewhere in between
So I'll bear these chains
And abstain from these games
Oh and pray to save you from the same
Tainted frame of darkened days
Eluding graves in a raven's open field
Befriending scarecrows beneath the nimbus dawn
Kneeling upon Novembered earth

Sometimes I am God, sometimes I'm the devil and last night
I was somewhere in between
These sheets
And your skin
And your bones
And your loneliness over on the floor
Next to your clothes

For when we claim that we're Gods, we're just crawling to the devil
And we all fall somewhere in between
