If you lean toward the devil
For just a moment in time
He could take more than
You ever meant to give
And slowly change everything
You were inside
Until you can't remember
Who you are any more
Swimming upstream
Against the current of the world
Takes its toll
And you feel like giving in...
As I'm catching myself leaning,
Your hands are pulling me,
But I keep hearing myself repeating,
"You'll never take the rest of me"
And as I'm crawling through your scheming
Your chains keep dragging me,
But I keep hearing myself repeating,
"You never get the best of me"
If you end up giving
A dark moment second glance
It could be the one
That never lets you come back
Killing what's inside softly
Until your focus delays
But we move in constant motion
To reach another day
An awakening to catch
And hold on to what we search for
To keep ourselves from drowning
In the waves of our mistakes
As I'm catching myself leaning,
Your hands are pulling me,
But I keep hearing myself repeating,
"You'll never take the rest of me"
And as I'm crawling through your scheming
Your chains keep dragging me,
But I keep hearing myself repeating,
"You never get the best of me"
The current is dragging us under,
The current is dragging us under,
But we keep reaching for the surface
The night winds keep blowing us backwards,
The night winds keep blowing us backwards,
But we keep running to the light
And there are so many forces against us,
There are so many forces against us,
But we keep running to the sky
As I'm catching myself leaning,
Your hands are pulling me,
But I keep hearing myself repeating,
"You'll never take the rest of me"
And as I'm crawling through your scheming
Your chains keep dragging me,
But I keep hearing myself repeating,
"You never get the best of me"
