"Dance With the Devil"

I lost my tug of war today

Took my foot off of the brakes

(The definition of insanity is looping

On repeat and expecting things to change)

But what comes up must hit the ground

So I drink these anvils down

(She always comes to me highly disguised,

An angel whispering, so many pretty shapes)

It's a dance with the devil

A stumbling tango

It's a dance with the devil

Trying to borrow from tomorrow

It's a dance

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

It's a dance

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

It's a dance

Just want to connect

But you won't let me do it

So I get altered,

(Twisted and conflicted, so I casually can shoot the shit)

Wish less was going on

Wish I could just throw the ball

And ignore it all

(Constantly distracted by the noise of my ping-pong)

It's a dance with the devil

A mercurial wrestle

It's a dance with the devil

Trying to borrow from tomorrow

It's a dance

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

It's a dance

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

It's a

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

But what, what is it worth

Waking up with a crown of clouds?

What is it worth

When my head spins out with doubt?

Wish I could measure

When the poison is pouring out

Oh

It's a dance

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you (it's a dance)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you (it's a dance)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you (it's a dance)

(Oh, no, oh, no, I don't need you)

Oh, no, oh, no (it's a...)
