Close To The Devil

from Don't Let The Bastard Win by Ryan Garrett

/

lyrics

A man has to find his own salvation
I remember once I thought I had found mine
In the bottom of a bottle
And a twin yellow line
But I was wrong, I was
Close to the devil
Yearning closer to God
I found my own holy spirit
Thy staff and thy rod
I discovered building houses
No windows, only walls
Dreamed myself inside them
So I could fall in love with the sounds of my own calls
But I was reckless, I was
Close to the devil
Never further from God
Far from any savior
All is violent, all is flawed
Do you breathe fire when you speak my name?
You gotta learn when to lay hands and when to lay blame
But I was hoping you would come around
And spin your wheels again
I was wrong again, I was wrong
But I'm not the devil
And I'm not a god
I'm far from any savior
My love is just a fraud
I've been getting high but then
I've been getting so low
I've been telling lies again
God would only know
God would only know
