Deal With The Devil

I got a ghost on my shoulder in my home
(I can feel him breathing)
He is the only reason I am not alone
(I'm diving in the deep end)
What did I do to deserve this?
Was it even worth it?
I got a ghost on my shoulder in my home
(Is he ever leaving?)
I made a deal with the Devil in disguise
He said
If you're gonna play your cards
You better play them right
(Aces, I'll be needing)
What did I do to get dealt this?
Has He ever felt this?
I made a deal with the Devil in disguise
Do you remember when life was so simple?
When the ocean would beckon to stay
Before deception infected the People
With His devilish, devious ways
I made a deal with the Devil
I couldn't see that He was
Right before my eyes
This demon's on another level
He stole my soul when I had
Lost what I can't find
My mind exploded with eruptions
Big enough to cover
Clouds up in the sky
'Cause I was young enough to love it
And relatively I was
Dumb enough to try
I may be sinful
But I'm not evil
I'm just a man among the
Men of the people
I may be yearning
But I'm still learning
To feed the ghost on my shoulder
That's still lurking
And what I find in
The silver lining
Is that it's out of my control
It's just the timing
So what's the crime in a silver lining?
I'm just unwinding
Do you remember when life was so simple?
When we would listen to Alice In Chains
Now we are destined to set an example
To never fold to His devious ways
I made a deal with the Devil
I couldn't see that He was
Right before my eyes
This demon's on another level
He stole my soul when I had
Lost what I can't find
My mind exploded with eruptions
Big enough to cover
Clouds up in the sky
'Cause I was young enough to love it
And relatively I was
Dumb enough to try
