as i get closer
my dreams get farther
i climb that ladder
but you kick it over
thirsty for water
you give me vinegar
when i drink your medicine
it just makes me sicker
i dug a hole so deep
i'm gonna drown in my mistakes
can't even sell my soul
'cause it ain't worth shit to take
i got the devil on my shoulder
and i just can't sink any lower
the hounds of hell are getting closer
i got the devil on my shoulder
follow the rainbow
my lucky omen
there ain't no pot of gold
just copper tokens
i found the key to life
the lock was broken
all my accomplishments
are best left unspoken
i dug a hole so deep
i'm gonna drown in my mistakes
can't even sell my soul
'cause it ain't worth shit to take
i got the devil on my shoulder
and i just can't sink any lower
the hounds of hell are getting closer
i got the devil on my shoulder
my horror story is nearly over
i said i'm sorry
but i was sober
i beg for mercy from my infernal friend
the one that drops the nails into my coffin
i got the devil on my shoulder
i got the devil on my shoulder
i got the devil on my shoulder
and i just can't sink any lower
they come to take me
take me over
i got the devil on my shoulder
