Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder

As I get closer,
My dreams get farther
I climb that ladder,
But you kick it over
Thirsty for water,
You give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine,
It just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)

Follow the rainbow,
My lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold,
Just copper tokens
I found the key to life,
The lock was broken
All my accomplishments
Are best left unspoken

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)

My horror story is nearly over
I said I'm sorry,
But I was sober
I'd beg for mercy
From my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails
Into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder

I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower
(lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over
(closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder
(over and over)
