The Devil Won't Let Me Go

There's Mute laughter on my lips At the curtain's all around In the shade, I know it's too close to be found Oh the weight of every word Bent the corner of my sight And from the heat of the noon, we'll plunge into the night Oh where can I go? Oh, where can I hide? My torture is slow Eroding inside So I plotted on capturing the air Stripping it right back to the bare Unveiling the cold And setting the breeze to blow But, The chaser kept stumbling on my tail Finding my breadcrumbs on the trail I fell in a dream And suffered my every foe Now the devil won't let me go I, Held a candle to my room Not a doorway to be found But a thread so carelessly floating to the ground So I took shelter on the cliff In a blanket of taboo And with no words to scream there's nothing for me do Oh where can I go? Oh where can I hide? My torture is slow Eroding inside The silhouette bleeds On the memories of mine My shadow it feeds On fantasies so blind Where should I go? Oh where should I hide? My torture is slow Eroding inside I rose from the dream Conquered my every foe Still the devil won't let me go --- The Devil Won't Let Me Go - anders
