Death is everywhere. 
I could feel it today, under my skin, 
under my breath-my tongue, the devils kin. 

Death is everywhere. 
I could touch it this way, with a glance, 
steal it away, from one circumstance. 

---- 
Here we are, 
Our children say. 
Here we are, 
Won't you stay. 

Here me now, 
Another cries. 
Where we are, 
You once were, and must answer. 

----------- 

Death is everywhere 
I faced it here, faced it loud and clear, 
Wondering how I ever got back here 
From loving you. 

Death is everywhere, 
Our children say, and we reply. 
Do we stare into their eyes? 
Do we offer whos and whys? 

------ 

Here we are, 
Our children say. 
I faced them here, under the sun. 
And in return, It never rose.

verse 1
The grinding stone, does more than you could know,
it don't shape with, no jagged edge.
So smooth and fine, like velvet all the time,
that mold is continuous.

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone.
It always feels like I'm........ back on the grinding stone.

verse 2
The game of life, just messes with your mind,
never giving you a break.
It grinds you down, tryin' to turn it all around.
But soon you learn, you can't cheat fate.

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone
it always feels like I'm........ back on the grinding stone.

SOLO verse

chorus
You never know, where life's gonna take ya.
You could find yourself alone..... so alone!
It always feels like I'm....... back on the grinding stone.

Back on the grinding stone.

Promise I’m believin’
Your tongue intoxicatin'
Oh now I’m fallin’ deeper
Every time you speak
You, You bring out the devil in me

V2
Warm inside this feeling
Playin’ with my demons
Past my limitations
Oh You might say I’m free
You, You bring out the devil in me

Every taste grows my hunger
Every bite, I want some more
Every time you bring me back again
Every time I’m on the floor
You, You bring out the devil in me
I didn't know what I didn't know
I didn’t go where I shouldn’t go
Now you bring out the devil in me

V3
(My) Blood is boilin’ over
Time to get exposure
Now move a little closer
Let me feel what I can see
Cause You bring out the devil in me

You, You bring out the devil in me
You, You bring out the devil in me
You, You bring out the devil in me

(Bring Out) The Devil In Me - The Roadhouse Revels
