a devil's tricks.

Did you think I'd ever leave?

Did you think that you would just fall into complacency?

Did you think that you ever held any agency?

Did you think that I would fall so gracelessly?

My mind's playing tricks on me

It keeps on showing me the things I could've been

Like someone who adores duality (do you hear me?)

Instead, I just sit and practice apathy

My mind's playing tricks on me

Bringing into question the definition of sanity

And what really constitutes as agony (do you fear me?)

My coping mechanisms keep on failing me

I've kept myself at bay for so damn long (you're not strong)

So now I think it's time for the devil's song

♪

I remember one short line

It went "One will turn to two, will turn to five"

It seems I always knew that they would multiply (just die)

So why do I insist on keeping up these lies?

Yeah, don't put your trust in me

And don't confuse my blinding weakness for gallantry

The truth is everything I do is cowardly (you will bleed)

Stuck behind a thin veneer of neutrality

Why do I lock myself inside my mind? (Without pride)

When that's exactly where these bad thoughts hide (just die)

Why do I keep on lying, when deep down I know that this isn't right?

A good devil masquerades out in the light

Please cease this feeling disease

This agony feels so clearly

Please, don't fear me

Please, it's stinging

Please, it's killing me

Reach dry heaving creeps sincerely

I wish I could forget all about it

But I know that the evil inside's what's keeping me grounded

It's killing me to know that my heart is in two

But my anger won't subside if I keep pretending I hate you

My mind won't heal if you're not real

This pain I feel can't be concealed

The truth in me will be revealed

And so, I yield
