Playing The Angel
A pain that I'm used to






I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control


Can you say what you're trying to play anyway?
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled




All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings true


There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience, repentance, oh no
Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds of the soul




I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real
No mistaking the faking, I care
With a prayer in the air I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair




All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you 
conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings 
true


All this running around, well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe all the dreams you 
conceive
You just need to achieve something that rings 
true
