The devil in me
Is dangerously
Close to getting free
And if it eats you alive
I can only say that I tried
To keep the hell fire that was burning deep inside
I tried to save my soul
But when I see you
there’s nothing that I can do
I try to fight
I try to fight
It’s like I’m walking on
Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
It’s like I’m walking on Razorblades
The devil in me
Is struggling to be free
Should I let it go?
Cause whenever you call me
Whenever you call
I’ll feel like he’s gonna crawl
I feel like he’s gonna crawl
Right through the telephone
Cuz when I’m talking to you
there’s nothing that I can do
I try to fight
I try to fight
It’s like I’m walking on
Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
It’s like I’m walking on Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
I’m walking on Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
It’s like I’m walking on Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
It’s like I’m walking on Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
It’s like I’m walking on Razorblades
But I can’t keep it inside
you know I’m only a man
No you don’t understand
