There's a devil inside my body
He is silent, he is mighty
He gave you wings to touch the sky
Feel the wind, feel the high inside
Then he snaps your wings in two
Like a coward, down, down, down
Falling into endless night
Where there is no sound, no light
Only your own echo in the air
You try to scream but no one's there
You try to run but lose the fight
You fade into the dark, the quiet
I can't stop the devil, here he comes again
He crawls inside my head, he feeds on every sin
He tells me I'm nothing, I don't deserve to live
Just close your eyes, it's easy, let it end
I wanna kill this devil, killing myself
Leaving everything behind
I can't find the meaning of this life
Everything is darkness, everything is silence
Empty eyes, dark souls
No voice, no beat, no pulse inside
Until I become the void
There is something dead inside of me
When I don't want to live, nothing stays, nothing keeps
With the last strength I had, I learned these three songs
This is one of them
Please forgive me
I can only comfort myself with thoughts of death
Only then my heart can rest
This song is my goodbye to the world you see
Don't you cry for me, I'm just too tired to breathe
You can't hear him but the devil keeps laughing
He says: you belong to me
I wanna kill this devil, killing myself
Leaving everything behind
I can't find the meaning of this life
Everything is darkness, everything is silence
Empty eyes, dark souls
No voice, no beat, no pulse inside
Until I become the void
I've killed myself a thousand times in dreams
With my electric guitar, the one I love
Wrap the strings around my throat and pull them tight
But every time I die, I wake to see the light
The devil's still there, he's laughing even louder
He says: you can't kill me, you can't kill yourself either
He says: you have to learn to live with me forever
He says: this song, this is my gift to you
Now sing it, make it true
There's a devil inside my body
He is silent, he is mighty
But I'm learning to live with him
To burn with him, to breathe with him
And
There's a devil inside my body
He is silent, he is mighty
But I'm learning to live with him
To burn with him, to breathe with him
And one day, when the war is done
I'll know he's the reason I've won
I'll know he's the reason I'm still here
Still bleeding, still singing, still breathing with fear
