Better the Devil Lyrics by Skold

The Undoing

2016

[Intro]
Uh, do I feel happy in life? Um... um, let's see

[Verse 1]
Under my boot every snowflake looks the same
Beneath the scars there's an empty spell cast in vain
Inside those walls the little voices know my name
Below black stars these old dirty streets have no shame

[Chorus]
Tear my soul apart
Drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star
If you promise that you'll never let me go
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know

[Verse 2]
The squeaky wheel is the weakest link in the chain
I see the cut, but I still can't feel a fucking pain
Between these walls there's a tiny chance I could refrain
Below black stars an even smaller chance I will complain

[Chorus]
Tear my soul apart
Drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star
If you promise that you'll never let me go
To hell with nothing left to show
Set me on fire and revel in the glow

[Interlude]
I try to... even if I feel like it or not, I'll try to make the effort, to make contact people around me

[Chorus]
Tear my soul apart
Drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star
If you promise that you'll never let me go
Tear my soul apart
And drown me in your sea of darkness
I'll be your lucky star
If you promise that you'll never let me go

[Outro]
Better the devil you know
Better the devil you know
