devil on my shoulder

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
