Title: I’ve seen the devil’s eyes.(song written by me)
The allure of the life you desire. It has a bearing on our life choices and actions, and has the power to make or break a person.
With this song, I reflect upon a time when I sort to change my apparent fate and imprint my desired destiny onto my timeline.
The things I’ve seen in my 26 years only leave me with more questions than I had when I was 4 and it’s fine because I could never have been more prepared for this journey called my life.
I’ve always been the shy type, afraid to be visible since being invisible felt like home to me(I’d have to tell this story with another song some day). But that’s the thing about home; those four walls could someday feel like a cage withholding you from the promise of what’s out there.
There were some moments in time when i wished i could just get away from the norm, you know, feel alive a little.
As I journeyed towards the unknown, with fear in my heart but an unsatisfied quest for adventure and answers I call out to my maker from within me. “It is with this desperate heart that you gave me I have come this far”.
No, it’s not just a cry for help. Even as I stare at my demons eye ball to eye ball, I know I will overcome because there’s nothing for me where I’m coming from so I chose to see progress and positivity rather than doom and gloom.
One step I took, then another, and many more followed till it was no longer possible to trace the prints to an origin.
With every cut and bruise I got stronger and more daring, not afraid to bleed a little if need be.
As I venture into the unknown I pray I don’t lose myself.
Lyrics
I wanna fly away
To a place where I’ve never been
I wanna go away
To a better place (ooo ooo)
On my way to neverland (ooo ooo)
Nothing too flashy
Red rubies in the back seat
Demons on my back but
Old soldier never dies
Sometimes I pray and fast
O lord don’t let me cry
Don’t let me sympathize
I’ve seen the schemes and lies
But love still let it slide
Good days and better nights
I shine I let it shine
I shine I let it shine
I’ve seen the devil’s eye
Chorus
ooo ooo ooo
ooo ooo ooo
I’ve seen the devil’s eyes
ooo ooo ooo
ooo ooo ooo
I’ve seen the devil’s eyes
Pre Chorus
O lord don’t let me cry
Don’t let me sympathize I’ve seen the schemes and lies
But love still let it slide
Good days and better nights
I shine I let it shine
I shine I let it shine
I’ve seen the devil’s eyes
Chorus
ooo ooo ooo
ooo ooo ooo
I’ve seen the devil’s eyes
ooo ooo ooo
ooo ooo ooo
I’ve seen the devil’s eyes
Verse 2
First cut’s way too deep it’s unforgettable
It’s like juju when you do it indescribable
All I wanted was a happy home
Wasn’t happy with the status quo
So I had to take the other road
Where I’m going I don’t even know(I don’t know) (I don’t know)
I don’t even know
First cut’s way too deep it’s unforgettable
It’s like juju when you do it indescribable
All I wanted was a happy home
Wasn’t happy with the status quo
So I had to take the other road
Where I’m going I don’t even know(I don’t know) (I don’t know)
I don’t even know
