The Devil is a Liar

by Ms. TKay - Cancer

Make no deals with the Devil
The Devil is a liar
He gets your hopes higher & higher
While setting your pants on fire

Give him one glance 
And he'll get in your pants
Lure you into his dirty dance
And lead your down Liars Lane, first chance

He keeps his horns and tail out of sight
Make you feel like everything is alright
No matter how hard you fight
He'll calm you down and turn off the light
Get you to feel his delight

He'll wine you, dine you into the concrete
Suck you dry and and leave you bleeding on the street
With tears falling like rain from your eyes
But he won't be around to hear your cries

He'll wear your feelings on his sleeve
Show up unannounced, ready to retrieve
Anything & everything in your possession
And continue to take part in your regression

And when he is done licking your skeleton dry
And just when you think he can't possibly tell another lie
Just when you refuse to give him anymore of your pie
He'll still try
And try & try & try

He'll continue to chip away at your soul
Until you get tired of him having that kind of control
You decide to break the hold & see him for what he is
You temper begin to fizz

Your rage starts to grow
It's time to overthrow
Grab the Devil by the tail
Throw him back to Hell

Look toward the heavens 
And turn to the higher
Leave the Devil in the dungeon 
Cause the Devil is a liar

Reason for writing:

    There's an underlying message in this.....
