I try to push them all away
But those thoughts, they stick around
Thriving on my pain
They keep bringing me down
I pray to God for peace of mind, for the gloom to disappear
I can't find a cause to live with the devil in my ear
[Outro]
Why, why, why can't I
Seem to hold my head up high?
It must be the devil in my ear
I don't wanna die, I wanna live
But my life can't go on like this
Not another day with the devil in my ear
Well, not another day with the devil in my ear
Yeah, not another day with the devil in my—
