The Devil in Me
Unveiling the Shadows Within: The Devil in Me by Garrison Starr
Lyrics
I thought I'd built up my skin
I believed I had developed a tough exterior
But standing here I'm feelin' paper thin
Currently, I feel extremely vulnerable or fragile
Cause you say one little thing
Your words have a significant impact on me
It goes caving in, caving in, caving in
Those words cause a collapse or breakdown inside me, repeating the effect
Thought I was in the clear
Assumed I had resolved my issues
But I can't silence the voices I hear
However, I'm unable to quiet the inner criticisms or doubts
When I face myself in the mirror
When I confront myself in the mirror
I see the years, see the years, I see the years
I witness the passage of time, the impact of the years on me
I lost my youth
I've forfeited my youth
Hiding the devil in me
I've concealed my darker, problematic side
Broke in two
I've been emotionally shattered
Fighting the devil in me
I've struggled against my inner demons
Is that really all you see?
Are you only capable of seeing my flaws or negative aspects?
The devil in me
The negative aspects of myself
The devil in me
-Words that can't be unsaid
Words that have been spoken and cannot be taken back
Lessons learned thought I knew what they meant
I believed I understood the lessons, but I was mistaken
I made my heart twist and bend
I caused myself emotional pain
All for nothing, nothing, nothing
All efforts were ultimately futile
I lost my youth
I've sacrificed my youth
Hiding the devil in me
I've hidden my inner struggles
Broke in two
I've been emotionally shattered
Fighting the devil in me
I've fought against my inner demons
Is that really all you see?
Is that the only aspect of myself you notice?
The devil in me
The negative aspects of myself
The devil in me
-All that I wanted
All my desires have remained unfulfilled
I could never get
I've been unable to attain what I wanted
Is it over yet?
Is the ordeal finished?
Is it over yet?
-All that I wanted
All my desires have remained unfulfilled
I could never get
I've been unable to attain what I wanted
Is it over yet?
Is the ordeal finished?
Is it over yet?
-All that I wanted
All my desires have remained unfulfilled
I could never get
I've been unable to attain what I wanted
Is it over yet?
Is the ordeal finished?
Is it over yet?
-All that I wanted
All my desires have remained unfulfilled
I could never get
I've been unable to attain what I wanted
Is it over yet?
Is the ordeal finished?
Is it over?
Is it finally over?
I lost my youth
I've forfeited my youth
Fighting the devil in me
I've fought against my inner demons
Broke in two
I've been emotionally shattered
Hiding the devil in me
I've hidden my inner struggles
Is that really all you see?
Is that the only aspect of myself you notice?
The devil in me
The negative aspects of myself
The devil in me
-The devil in me
-The devil in me
