I've met the devil
Seeing him around
Because we share the same town
We both frequent this barber shop
But his cut is better than the one I got
We drive the same automobile
Even my bad ideas he tries to steal
Fridays he plays at a local bar
Star way to heaven on guitar

I couldn't hide from the truth
Of that inside
I'd come to believe
There lives a devil in me.

I've met the devil in me
I've met the devil in me
That's all I see
The devil in me!
I've met the devil in me
I've met the devil in me
Always waiting for me
The devil in me!

I've met the devil
Don't tell me(?)
Waits for me deep inside my shadow.
My great escape back to the mirror(?)
Who's the one that will appear?
When I'm approaching he turns away
When I am talking he's always
Got something, got something so profound to say
But I can't confront my enemy.

I couldn't hide from the truth
Of that inside
I'd come to believe
There lives a devil in me.

I've met the devil in me
I've met the devil in me
That's all I see
The devil in me!
I've met the devil in me
I've met the devil in me
Always waiting for me
The devil in me!

He's cold like me
Feels alone
And crawl like me
I'm starting to see

He gets what he wants
But not what he needs
(7x)

I shouldn't die
Oh Lord I shouldn't cry
The devil has somehow
Come to frame me
The devil is actually me.
