Won't be here long, So don't get to know me
Not here to stay, it's all temporary
Not cut out for this, I feel the hand around my neck
and the grip is tightening, making me a nervous wreck
No matter what I try, I can't seem to hit the mark
Even a dim light can seem bright in the dark.
The devil on my shoulder feels like my oldest friend.
I've got my hill and boulder, it's always there in the end
Don't cry for me I'm already dead
Got it all off my chest, there's nothing left unsaid
So send me down river, and out to sea
Not worth my salt, there's no monument for me.
No matter what I try, I can't seem to hit the mark
Even a dim light can seem bright in the dark.
The devil on my shoulder feels like my oldest friend.
I've got my hill and boulder, it's always there in the end
