Mephisto

One more time then I'll know
One more lie then I'll go
Pour another drink
And I'll ease myself
Into the comforts of your philosophy
Try to understand your friend in need
And I'm here to make it easier

You and I are one in the same
We're built alike in so many ways
You can't understand
And you won't accept
Your secrets are all
Safely kept here
Inside we're so lost
I can be the one to find you
Everything that you deserve
No request will ever go unheard
You're better off without me now
But without me here
You're better off alone
Just wait and see

You're just like me
Conversation's getting stale
A penny for your thoughts
One small betrayal

Does no man know what he's good for?
Does no man want what he's asked for?
It takes our design

I've spent a lifetime
Waiting for the chance
To chase these devils away
But they always come smiling
When you need 'em the most

So I'll end this night alone again
With nothing to offer
And nothing to give
Conversations spoken in vein alone

So go away
It's easier if I stay
So go away
It's easier this way
