I go under and take in black water
I sink in the depths of what I'd known
People down here are just like me
Who've seen the good in every man
I could write a book or a novel on what I've seen
I don't wanna go back there
When the devil takes control
And you see in his eyes constant demise straight through you
Oh the fire burns high
I thought I was in the right but I was in for the ride
And coming up short again
Believing everything you hear is what got us here
And now I'm steering clear
I see clearly now the way of the world
Thought I had it figured out but here I am now
Sick tired and pissed
I'll walk my own path from here on out
Step by step I'll leave them behind
To a better life
A better life
When the devil takes control
And you see in his eyes constant demise straight through you
Oh the fire burns high
I thought I was in the right but I was in for the ride
And coming up short again
Believing everything you hear is what got us here
And now I'm steering clear
