Joel Rafidi - Devil's Lair Lyrics

Put us in a dark room
Make sure it's a full moon
Outside I want vanilla skies
Penelope and Tom Cruise
Take it all off
But leave your clothes on
I wanna see the real you
Not another costume
Tell me all your fears
Nightmarish ideas
Your demons are safe here
No, we don't need that sage, dear
Just look me in the eyes
There's no need to be shy
If you really wanna heal
You gotta point to where your shadows lie
I will hold the space
Read the textures of your face
I can see your body change
Talk about your mother's shame
Tell me how he treated you
And she did not protect your pain
I'm sorry that you copped
The projections of another's hate
Try to stay with me now, I need you to stay
I know the easy path is to shut down and run away
But maybe we can sit with it, titrate, integrate
And welcome just a little the devil of yesterday
The goal is not to ascend
It is not to get high
We want to get deep
And match the darkness of the night
They taught you to escape
They taught you to pray
But until you meet yourself
You're just getting in your way
I ain't saying don't seek God
But are you seeking it within?
God ain't just love and light
But also what you call sin
Nothing has one side
Every shadow needs a light
And every light needs a shadow
We can't live in the divide
We have two eyes for a reason
Not one but four seasons
Everything has an opposite
We're talking 'bout completion
Wholeness is the goal
Not that perfection that you're seeking
Perfection is the lie that does keep the masses weakened
They're walking contradictions
They want to kill their parents
But they won't ever admit, uh-uh, they could never dare it
Riddled with guilt and obligation, they're embarrassed
So they tuck it away for their kids to inherit
There is merit to my words
To these nouns, to these verbs
And they will always be adverse to the crowds, to the herd
They say they want the truth but the buck stops there
It's only the few who will enter the devil's lair
