Regrets collect like old friends
Here to relive your darkest moments
I can see no way, I can see no way
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I'm always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I'm going to bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues drawn
But it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
And I'm damned if I do
And I'm damned if I don't
So here's to drink in the dark
At the end of my road
And I'm ready to suffer
And I'm ready to hope
It's a shot in the dark
And right at my throat
Because looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Looking for heaven, found the devil in me
Well what the hell I'm not going to let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out, shake it out
And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back
So shake him off
