lyrics

All the asteroids in the world don't scare me
It's the people I've met in the passing day
that trigger my fears and anxieties
They've done some bad things to my mother and me.

I've seen the devils smile in the eyes of a stranger
in fact the devil lives in my best friend
God won't help him.
God don't do much of anything..

You can call me John, call me Anthony!
I can be who you want, I just want you to think of me.
I want to stand in the light,
I'll take a ticket to ride as to be by your side.

All the floods in the world would'nt scare me
It's the people I've met in the passing day
that hide their evils and bury their brains in themselves
they don't care for a words meaning.

Ive felt the devils hand in the shake of a stranger
in the fact the devil lives in my best friend
who's helped to get me through hard times
he's listened to my heart beat

You can call me Job, call me Iscariot
I will be who you want, I just want you to think of me.
I want to be by your side, I'll take a ticket to ride
as to stand in the light.
to feel a part of the light
To be inside of the light

I've heard the devils voice from the lips of a stranger
in fact the devils gone and invited me in
God don't help me.
God don't do much of anything.

I’ll be the brightest violet,
the most blissful hum,
I'll be spread like butter across every atom
of this deep vast void; the Devil and Me
