lyrics

I want to meet the devil. I'd say, just be yourself.

I don't want a caricature or a replica, not anyone else.

I want to meet the devil, I'd say, don't be vague.

I don't want to hear what people say you ought to be or any of your favorite cliches.

I want to meet the devil. I've got a feeling, we're much the same -

parents who never understood us, said they loved us, then wished we would change.



B

They say you're on TV in anything that amuses me.

They say you're my nieghbor's wife, anyone who bleed without a knife.

You're there when I'm feeling good; youre the cause of me feeling bad.

You're in every mean conversations that people have.



You're in the dad who never got the cadillac he wanted.

You're in the mom who was too panicked to have any fun.

You're in the kid who only learned how to kill a marriage and any foolish notion of unconditional love.



You're in the part that believes you're bad, so you've got to do something to make you good,

so you read the Bible on the train; it's clear cut and understood.

And you might yell on the train about Jesus no matter if it's rude.

You're in the faces of the passengers who'd kill you if they could.



You're in my coffee, my toothpaste, my hand sanitizer my underwear,

my inappropriate inner thoughts, my embarrassing outer despair,
the jealousy I try and hide that my friends can sense but are too nice to say.

Every bit of smallness I know is dumb but feel anyway.



Where is the devil? Where else is the Devil?
