There's no telling what we just might do

I don't want to get the typical tattoo

We'll have to choose, permanent and true

There's a devil on my shoulder of the angel in my ear

You'd die if you could see the dreams

I've had between these ringing ears

That nagging fear pierces like a spear



Your favorite dream and your worst nightmare came to life

Hand me a knife

Your heart or mine?



Followed by a black cloud all damn day

It's swelled up with all the words that you won't say

It won't go away, it's like a bird of prey There's a devil on your shoulder, oh my precious angel dear

And on the other I stand screaming

But it's not exactly clear just who you hear



A long time ago I cut all signs of hope upon the razor wire

That separated soil from life

You can mark my word

I'm telling total truths

There's not much more to say

When words on paper bruise your heart My hearts not dead, there still exists a thread

So sew me back together

I'll remember to forget her
