lyrics
There’s a devil in the tree
Outside
He gets the better of me
‘Cause he lies
A little voice inside
Chastise
He never lets me be free
Not even sometimes
He lies, he lies
Need to turn a deaf ear
Close eyes
Head of second guessing
Doubting
Leave the devil in the tree
Behind
Nothing up there but leaves
All of the time
He lies, he lies
Need to run to stand still
These days
Need to shout to be heard
“Do you hear me?”
Leave the devil in the tree
Behind
Nothing up there but leaves
All of the time
He lies, he lies...
