Devil Struck
Temptation Unleashed: Devil Struck by Other States Reveals the Allure of Forbidden Paths
Lyrics
I came out here with the best of plans
I arrived with well-thought-out plans
No taste for getting lost
I have no inclination for losing my way
A simple life in a warmer place
Desiring a simple life in a warmer location
No chance of messing up
Seeking a life with minimal chances of failure
You looked to me and you called me out
You observed me and called me out while I was preoccupied
Whilst i was looking up
I was engrossed in something else
The briefest smile from a familiar face
A fleeting smile from a familiar face
Lord knows i'd seen enough
I had experienced enough in life
Soon my best laid plans
My carefully made plans soon succumbed to new challenges
Fell to new demands
Under the influence of new requirements
A taste could never be enough
A mere taste was insufficient
See it was in my bones like i'd always known
It was ingrained in my being, as if I always knew
A glimpse and i was devil struck
A brief experience and I was captivated by the devil
Soon i couldn't see much of anything
Gradually, I lost sight of most things
Fragments in my cup
My thoughts and perceptions fragmented like contents in a cup
A single chance led me straight back in
A solitary opportunity led me directly back in
Just like you knew i would
Just as you anticipated
Soon my best laid plans fell to new demands
Again, my carefully laid plans succumbed to new demands
A taste could never be enough
A mere taste was not sufficient
See it was in my bones like i'd always known
It was in my essence, as if I always knew
A glimpse and i was devil struck
A glimpse, and I was captivated by the devil
You came to me You came to me like i needed you
You approached me when I needed you
A softer voice A softer voice than I've been meaning to
A gentler voice, different from my intentions
You keep me running
You keep me moving
You keep me running on into you
You keep me moving towards you
Soon my best laid plans fell to new demands
Once again, my carefully laid plans yielded to new demands
A taste could never be enough
A mere taste was not enough
See it was in my bones like i'd always known
It was in my essence, as if I always knew
A glimpse and i was devil struck
A glimpse, and I was captivated by the devil
