The Devil’s Whisper

(It's my birthday

and everyone's at the club)

We try to contain the beast within,

but alas it is of no use

So as the music plays

we pop pills 

and drink the night away

The beast calls out to us

And we try to ignore it

but its pull is too strong

So we pop more pills

and buy more drinks

Look 

someone just brought weed

The beast calls again

trying to remind us

of our awful lives

So we pop more pills

buy more drinks

And smoke blunts

The beast calls again

So the DJ cranks up the music 

we pop more pills

buy more drinks

and smoke more blunts

We hear some creature laugh

It sounds sinister,

but we don't care

We just want to drown out the beast

So the DJ cranks up the music

we pop even more pills

buy even more drinks

and smoke even more blunts

We're tired 

of being puppets on a string

Tonight the string has been cut

at least until the rise

of the morning sun

We hear some creature laugh

It sounds sinister,

but we don't care

We just want to drown out the beast
