Devil In The Details Lyrics

A house of cards

A supple heart

Is not a place to dwell



Now you have your cake

Don’t hesitate

Come on just do it,

Come on just do it



Put it in your mouth

There is only now

Tomorrow has to wait



But know there’s no backing out

This is gonna be reality

You can never dream it down



I have No way

Of telling

The two apart



Well I made amends

In the general sense

But the devil’s in the details



And I know the cause

And I want to stop

But I can’t do it,

I just can’t do it



There was love unmeant

There were accidents

So tell me which is which



‘Cus I just can’t work it out

But for memory and clarity

We had better write it down



I have no way

Of knowing the truth

With tongues of… (?)



I put the past into the ground

I saw the future as a cloud

If theres still time to turn around

Im going to



Its just one day I fell asleep

And all day all night I dreamed

I am the first one I deceive

If I can make myself believe

The rest is easy…
