anders - The Devil Won't Let Me Go Lyrics

There's
Mute laughter on my lips
At the curtain's all around
In the shade, I know it's too close to be found

Oh the weight of every word
Bent the corner of my sight
And from the heat of the noon, we'll plunge into the night

Oh where can I go?
Oh, where can I hide?
My torture is slow
Eroding inside

So
I plotted on capturing the air
Stripping it right back to the bare
Unveiling the cold
And setting the breeze to blow

But,
The chaser kept stumbling on my tail
Finding my breadcrumbs on the trail

I fell in a dream
And suffered my every foe
Now the devil won't let me go

I,
Held a candle to my room
Not a doorway to be found
But a thread so carelessly floating to the ground

So I took shelter on the cliff
In a blanket of taboo
And with no words to scream there's nothing for me do

Oh where can I go?
Oh where can I hide?
My torture is slow
Eroding inside

The silhouette bleeds
On the memories of mine
My shadow it feeds
On fantasies so blind

Where should I go?
Oh where should I hide?
My torture is slow
Eroding inside

I rose from the dream
Conquered my every foe
Still the devil won't let me go
