Deal with the Devil

I got a ghost on my shoulder in my home

(I can feel him breathing)

He is the only reason I am not alone

(I'm diving in the deep end)

What did I do to deserve this?

Was it even worth it?

I got a ghost on my shoulder in my home

(Is He ever leaving?)

I made a deal with the Devil in disguise

He said"If you're gonna play your cards

You better play them right"

(Aces, I'll be needing)

What did I do to get dealt this?

Has He ever felt this?

I made a deal with the Devil in disguise

Do you remember when life was so simple?

When the ocean would beckon to stay

Before deception infected the People

With His devilish, devious ways

I made a deal with the Devil

I couldn't see that He was right before my eyes

This demon's on another level

He stole my soul when I had lost what I can't find

My mind exploded with eruptions

Big enough to cover clouds up in the sky

'Cause I was young enough to love it

And relatively, I was dumb enough to try

I may be sinful, but I'm not evil

I'm just a man among the men of the people

I may be yearning, but I'm still learning

To feed the ghost on my shoulder that's still lurking

And what I find in the silver lining

Is that it's out of my control, it's just the timing

So what the crime in a silver lining?

I'm just unwinding

Do you remember when life was so simple?

When we would listen to Alice In Chains

Now we are destined to set an example

To never fold to His devious ways

I made a deal with the Devil

I couldn't see that He was right before my eyes

This demon's on another level

He stole my soul when I had lost what I can't find

My mind exploded with eruptions

Big enough to cover clouds up in the sky

'Cause I was young enough to love it

And relatively, I was dumb enough to try
