The Devil's Real Lyrics

	作词 : Smither
	The devil ain't a legend, the devil's real
	In the empty way he touched me, where I hardly feel
	In the empty hole inside me, the nothing that'll ride me
	Down into my grave, it does not heal
	Nothing is as something, it'll suck you dry
	As the whisper you can hardly hear that tells you why.
	They told me "You ain't got no problems, you're self-deceived"
	These seeming contradictions, well they make believe
	It was then that I decided my life was being guided
	By a second-rate dependence on first-class thieves
	They told me I was breaking through, I was breaking down
	By the time I learned the difference they had long left town.
	You know that they ain't so malicious, they ain't mean
	They're just vaguely well-intentioned with no love I've seen
	And it's the emptiness that kills you, cold comfort that'll fill you
	With a sense of dread that maybe things are worse than they seem
	They don't tell you nothing you don't already know
	They just keep holding out the promise but they don't let go
	You know they don't let go.
	Well, it was hard luck and trouble, bad times too
	I know I had 'em coming, but I got through
	It was advice that you gave me in a dream that saved me
	You said "Get a new life contract that spells out your dues."
	Took good will to find it, a clear conscience to sign it
	Now I dream about the good times and it all comes true.
