Mumma told me the devil had faces,
That the devil was not just one person.
She told me I’d see him in people I love,
She told me it wouldn’t be a pretty sight.
She told me he makes you want them first,
Then breaks you down to want the worst,
I think I’ve met the devil a few times now,
Smiling at me, hunting me down.
It seems to me like he’s still not done,
knocking on my door, calling me out.
Silly is my mumma who told me all,
Just forgot to mention that his name is love.
Faces only have its traces
Persons are just its assertions
It feeds on our hate
Mocking our fate
suffering builds its appitite
Our misery is its delight
There is nothing pretty about it
Or anything witty about it
A devil we all have to face
But we don’t have to embrace
Let it knock
Let it stalk
Or it will stick like a parasite
Away from our sight
Feeding from with in
Shedding its skin
It leaves a mark
Mark that is dark
You never felt the skin
You only touched a glove
Devil knows no love
Devil knows no love
