The Devil Is Me

I ran from temptation
I prayed for salvation, yeah
I screamed out,
"God save me from my own damnation!" yeah

My eyes were cold and blinded
I held the page I could not read
Drew up my blood and signed it
I woke up in a sweat and heard the Lord's decree

The Devil is me
The Devil is me
I fought myself to be set free
'Cause the Devil is me, yeah

I lived in confusion
Choked on my pride's delusions
I sinned a thousand times and drank the wine
While screaming out for absolution, yeah

I stood unbowed but broken
I woke up in a sweat and heard the Lord's decree

The Devil is me
The Devil is me
I fought myself to be set free
'Cause the Devil is me

Take a look at yourself and then tell me what you see
The Devil is me

My eyes were cold and blinded
I held the page I could not read
Drew up my blood and signed it
I woke up in a sweat and heard the Lord's decree

The Devil is me
The Devil is me
I fought myself to be set free
'Cause the Devil is me, yeah

Yeah
The Devil is me
