The Devil's Strings

(album: Krimson Crow - 2020)

Enemies are the last to know
Empathy fogs up my window
Say a prayer for me whisper a name and let her go
Say a prayer for misery

There's something missing took a part of me
I tried to listen but it was hard to see
Through all the pain you were leaving
Slit a vein now I'm bleeding
Feel the flame and I'm burning out
I wanna hate you but I'm sick of feeling
It's complicated screaming at the ceiling
At all these ghosts in my head
Memories walking dead
Ripping sheets from the bed I'm done
I need you to know
I need you to go
I released you from this hell
Lease release me from your spell
There's no reason left to dwell

Shadows on the wall are crawling calling out to
Spirits counting all the days without you
The Cemetery sings to the devil's strings
I'm coming home
Say a prayer for misery
Shadows on the wall are crawling calling out to
Spirits counting all the days without you
The Cemetery sings to the devil's strings
I'm coming home
Say a prayer for misery

Cobwebbed apologies
Apparitions are all I see
I'm possessed
Holy water devil rest
On my shoulder I confess
Should'a told her get out
Now I'm haunted by entities
Pay my penance no sympathy
Dragging me to hell
Demons laughing I exhale
Ever lasting in her spell farewell
I need you to see
I need you to leave
Take all the hatred and pain
All the traces of ya name
No more faces in the frame

Shadows on the wall are crawling calling out to
Spirits counting all the days without you
The Cemetery sings to the devil's strings
I'm coming home
Say a prayer for misery
Shadows on the wall are crawling calling out to
Spirits counting all the days without you
The Cemetery sings to the devil's strings
I'm coming home
Say a prayer for misery
Shadows on the wall are crawling calling out to
Spirits counting all the days without you
The Cemetery sings to the devil's strings
I'm coming home
Shadows on the wall are crawling calling out to
Spirits counting all the days without you
The Cemetery sings to the devil's strings
I'm coming home
