Sodium Soaked Streets

I guess I'll sit and wonder why
I spent so much time singing songs
to the Devil in the street light
I spent my time inside my mind
Couldn't open up my eyes
Wasted all my time

The Devil's hold was strong
Kept me over there too long, way too long
I was knelt onto my knees
Something wrong I couldn't see
Something ill at ease

Now the Devil is white and pure as snow
There's no way that you could know
There's no way that you could feel
A drop of empathy for me
You couldn't lift more than a sigh
You wouldn't stop to wonder why

In these streets, set as stone
Running high, running low ·
Useless things, left behind
Open out into the night

The Devil's hold was strong
Kept me over there too long, way too long
I was knelt onto my knees
Something wrong I couldn't see
Something ill at ease
Sodium soaked streets
All that jaundice concrete
I guess it got to me
It's stuck inside my mind
Now I have no will left to fight
And I still wonder why
