Name Me the Devil
Tell me you're not frightened
And I'll prove you wrong
A slow tear on your cheek
Laughter
Name me the devil
And I'll show you
Oh, God, I'll show you
How right you are
Ask for compassion
And I'll walk away without a word
Grinning at your pain
Kindness is common
Shown by all to strangers as they pass through your dreams
Ignore them
I live off your fear
So easy to produce
Crawling on your knees
You show me that which fuels my actions
The sleepless child cries for his parents
Who ignore him nightly
Ignoring his screams
About the Smirk in the Dark
Ask for compassion
And I'll walk away without a word
Grinning at your pain
Kindness is common
Shown by all to strangers as they pass through your dreams
Ignore them
Because, baby, while you hide under the covers
I watch you sleep
And hear you breath with your beating heart
Quicken and quicken
Lulling to sleep
With a tune from your better days
Sleep for now
Sleep forever
Ask for compassion
And I'll walk away without a word
Grinning at your pain
Kindness is common
Shown by all to strangers as they pass through your dreams
Ignore them
Name me the devil
I'll show you how right you are
And I'll prove you wrong
A slow tear on your cheek
Laughter
Name me the devil
And I'll show you
Oh, God, I'll show you
How right you are
Ask for compassion
And I'll walk away without a word
Grinning at your pain
Kindness is common
Shown by all to strangers as they pass through your dreams
Ignore them

So easy to produce
