​​a devil’s tricks. Lyrics by Chonny Jash

the before.

2021

[Intro]
Did you think I'd ever leave?
Did you think that you would just fall to complacency?
Did you think that you ever held any agency?
Did you think that I would fall so gracelessly?

[Verse 1]
My mind's playing tricks on me
It keeps on showing me the things that I could've been
Like someone who adores duality (Do you hear me?)
Instead I just sit and practice apathy

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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?

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Outro]
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
