Ravine Angel - The Devil Lyrics

I did everything you told me to
I waited in the cold for you
I fed myself to wolves for you
And still I loved you
And still I loved you
I took off all my clothes for you
I modeled and I posed for you
Even when it wasn't true
I'd still believe you
I'd still believe you

My friend
I tried so hard, my friend
To obfuscate, pretend
That there was nothing wrong
I was
So virtuous and clean
So selfless and pristine
That part of me is gone

So even though I love you I can't live like this
I cannot bear the crucifix
Although I know how much it hurts to be
Through these clouds I will collapse
Heaven or hell, I will be trapped
But for this precious moment I am free

You built this little home for me
And you filled my head with fantasy
And you ignore all my most desperate pleas
So I will love you
So I will love you
You gave me purpose, made me strong
But you taught what I'd been all along
Now I shout my wretched prayer against the throng
I cannot need you
I cannot need you

My friend
I cannot comprehend
The degree or the depth
Of your majestic glory
My eyes
Are burned out of my skull
I know I have fallen
I intend to keep falling

So even though I love you I can't live like this
I cannot bear the crucifix
Although I know how much it hurts to be
Through these clouds I will collapse
Heaven or hell, I will be trapped
But for this precious moment I am free

They say hell is just a place outside the light of God
Where the darkness is so thick that you cannot see, and none can see you
I believe it is true
Hell is a midwinter night
Hell is a barely exchanging words in a supermarket
Hell is getting everything you want
Hell is knowing you were in the wrong
Hell is the bartender who knows too much
Hell is continuous, righteous self-worship
Hell is no right option
Hell is endless isolation
And here in this viscous pit
I will learn to be king
