The Devil Explained

put your feet up and rest
come home and forget
that life isn't what you expected

through the curtains and glass
the world seems to laugh
as you ponder your faltering steps

they warned you before
you came to this shore
'the city's a liar and a theif'

and you think 'bout that now
remembering how
you've broken, you've mended, you've weeped.


walking the streets
like a questioning priest
in a daze in your armchair, you dream

'bout the three years now passed
slipped by you so fast
and you feel you've aged more than it seems

look up at the sky
the clouds are gray pyres
the sun burns above, where you cannot see

you're burned by their rain
and burdened by pain, you know
the city's the devil explained


so inside you run
away from the sun
away from the pull of your fate

like a nightmare you reels
you fall head over heels
to an eternally tumbling place

you need to get hold
your hands round your soul
and fly to a place that's brand new

re-invent yourself
and forget all about
the devil..... the city...
