letra de the devil's pastime - scarsdale

i’ve died
and come back to life
too many times to really count
so day by day
i’m changing in ways
that shed the skin of past fears and doubts

i’ve felt heaven in the form of a woman’s touch
while i experienced h-ll in my brain
i’ve broken bread with the devil and i’ve sinned with god
they both treated me about the same

so when you gonna lay me down?
papa’s calling my name again
will you meet me down by the river tonight
or will you meet me at the gates instead?

running scared – in dreams
i never lived up to her memory of me
thunder road – tell me was it all a lie?
just running scared – living in the devil’s pastime

i’ve tried
to let you go, the version of you no longer there
i’ll die alone
on the streets of a ghost town
where a dream is just an unanswered prayer

the struggle of the broken and the troubled
is the devil’s favorite game
he grins and lights a big cigar
as we all suit up to play

so when you gonna lay me down?
papa’s calling my name again
lay my memory down by the river tonight
but keep my bones hidden under your bed

running scared – in dreams
i never lived up to her memory of me
thunder road – tell me was it all a lie?
just running scared – living in the devil’s pastime

i only wanted to find some change
and maybe a little love
but one thing sure to get you k!lled
is caring just a little too much
so i fall to my knees with my head in my hands
how foolish was i to think things would go according to plan?
i scream at the air and curse my own voice
i’ll disappear into this darkness like i ever had a choice

but if i come back you know i won’t be the same
my hungry eyes have grown tired and my dream’s been ashamed
the promise was broken one too many times
maybe things would be different if i’d used other lines
but my hands no longer feel the burn of the stove
i jump in the frozen river but i can’t feel the cold
the sun’s rays cannot burn a man as callused as this
but i don’t even care – i don’t even exist

i am the hurt, i can never be free
this devil’s pastime is k!lling me
if you bought into heaven, hope you got a receipt
cuz there’s nothing here but monsters and we play for keeps

i am the hurt, i can never be free
this devil’s pastime is k!lling me
if you bought into heaven, hope you got a receipt
cuz there’s nothing here but wolves and we eat the sheep
