I made an agreement with a demon that I couldn't write
And for the past six years I've cursed my life
He said I couldn't sing and I told him he was right
I gave him ears and listened to his lies
There's time things can be restored
This is wisdom: you will serve what you adore
I'm freely given what I can't afford
"Slow down child, you don't have to work for love
Anymore"
Blood as sweet as honey in exchange for bitter wine
From three nails it flows and gives me life
A little bag of money and I couldn't decline
I traded in love for a worthless lie
There's time things can be restored
This is wisdom: you will serve what you adore
I'm freely given what I can't afford
"Slow down child, you don't have to work for love
Anymore"
"Slow down child you don't have to work for love anymore"
