Devil on My Shoulder

Beautiful silence, beautiful pain

We're only human, we're meant to dream

Lost in life, full of mistakes

We do what feels right, then fall with no grace

Chased by the sun, escaping flatlines

Dreams are a curse, wake up, you're alive

Oh, slowly fading from the misery, I've accepted who I'm supposed to be

I've accepted who I'm supposed to see, lady in the mirror

Oh, every day I'm gettin' a bit older, and every time I break, I get stronger

Every day it's getting a bit colder when I grow closer

To the devil on my shoulder

Mmm, to the devil on my shoulder

Beautiful silence, beautiful pain

Beautiful people, but we're all stained

Lost in life, full of mistakes

We do what feels right, then fall with no grace

I'm a sinner, I'm a tainted saint

I'm a savior, it's all the same

Chased by the sun, escaping flatlines

Dreams are a curse, wake up, you're alive

Oh, slowly fading from the misery, I've accepted who I'm supposed to be

I've accepted who I'm supposed to see, lady in the mirror

Oh, every day I'm gettin' a bit older, and every time I break, I get stronger

Every day it's getting a bit colder when I grow closer

To the devil on my shoulder

Mmm, to the devil on my shoulder

We're all broken, it's fate, it's the way that we're made

All the pieces are there, they just aren't in their place

So I struggle to stand, but don't ask for a hand

My pride tells me, "No, you're better alone"

I'm uncomfortably numb as I stuff what I've found

And I start to shut down, freeze in front of a crowd

It's what I don't say, I don't love, I don't hate

Closing my mouth and turning my face

But it's no way to live till I'm nothing to give

Consuming the doubt, not letting them in

But I'm not here to win, to survive, but I'm already dead

So I picked up my head

I picked up my head

I picked up my head

Oh, every day I'm gettin' a bit older, older, oh

Every day it's getting a bit colder, colder, oh

Every day I'm gettin' a bit older, older, oh

Every day it's getting a bit colder when I grow closer

To the devil on my shoulder

Oh, to the devil on my shoulder
