Her hellish heels are always hitting me from every side Her non-embellishing peels are only knitted for one ride And I relish in thought of the decisions she'll steal tonight He's felt the wheel running in his mind He looks into her eyes, He knows it's time Yeah, she might be the Devil And I will be the anvil A Devil's trap won't work Nor this water I brought blessed by the Earth So I go to every single room and lay lines of salt for you I don't know how you got through One thing I know it will be over soon I got you alone, out of your throne But I know now, I can't go home Yeah, she might be the devil And I will be the anvil Set fire to the tires Set fire to the tires Set fire

Would it be wrong if I traveled against your plain What will I gain by going this way Or will my valor fade My armor shall protect me from this wave And my piety will destroy any enemy in play And I will do this forever Back on the road I've been traveling on So many ways to stray Bury my skin against my bones That is the only way What should I bring to the table? Or have the scraps been saved? Let me make one thing clear now I won't go unsaved And I will do this forever And I will do this Forever, Forever No, no you'll never go hungry again No, no you'll never go hungry

Upon the shores we meet the guardian And contumacy was the only reason A pagan has been placed no not for his race No he's not sure They'll probably send him to the undergloom And these skies have different stars And it doesn't really feel like home This rustic mount was an island It was invoking muses to describe the land within And of the second kingdom I will sing As you ascend to Heaven while the spirit purges And the angels will ring And these skies have different stars Doesn't really feel like home You called for help and you knew there was ice outside  but I drove across that bridge just for you But guess what happened?  I crashed through the guardrail into the lake And you felt the water rising in  you knew there was no coming back The spirits we're holding me down  trying to show me what I was given You let them in And these skies have different stars Doesn't really feel like home As I was going down in this lake  I knew I had to leave something just for you So I decided to write a note, a letter  on windshield by scratching my claws But I could only leave three letters for you girl There was an I, a heart, and a U Just three letters

Some days the waves will take you all the way And other days it will drop you off right in the bay You need to learn to make a friend with your surroundings Just give it a chance, give it a chance With the highest waves coming down I feel the slightest break, Hang 10 Now I know to accomplish this I'll need my best this is not a simple quest, Hang 10 At the point where the wave never makes a sound All ten toes are pointed down If you want a change, do it over in the east bay, especially on this gloomy day And usually when I stare into the distance Suddenly clouds of black are tarring over my horizon. With the highest waves coming down I feel the slightest break, Hang 10 Now I know to accomplish this I'll need my best This is not a simple quest, Hang 10 At the point where the wave never makes a sound All ten toes are pointed down And I'm on top of the world Never coming down I don't want to face my reality back on the beach Back on the beach

Should of seen you coming from miles away I see the way you lay upon your perch I love the way that you lurk Your fame precedes you I've been warned about you But I will still go through with it If not for the experience As I approach your pillar not as a killer But as an interested friend Baby, you know this is the end You picked me up, then you dropped me down You take a sip from your cup while I float face down You picked me up then you fucking dropped me down So we're together now it's better than I've ever dreamed But those clouds can be deceiving You've made a permanent memory of this by carving our initials in the tree down by the lonely brook It's someone else's name How could you betray your only friend? I guess Baby, you know this is the end You picked me up then you dropped me down You take a sip from your cup while I float face down You picked me up then you fucking dropped me down! Should of seen you coming from miles away
