Devil In The Hallway

Devil in the hallway offers me a price
I think for a moment and then she's grabbing me by the arm
"I miss us"
And for some reason I believe it all
Stumbling backwards into a room
The memories familiar but she tastes new
Realization that nothing can be the same
How can I keep it up with all the questions racing through my head
My fingers burn along her back
But the pain is the familiar and I can't pull away
Thrusting myself further into sinful pleasures
Her face changing, the air changing, becoming thick
A moan? A laugh?
I'm hearing both at the same time
The devil is laughing at me and i'm running, running
Down the never ending hallway
Get me out, out of this deal
Can I escape?
The time I flirted with the past and it accepted.
Only nothing can be the same
No matter how much of your soul you're willing to let go
Let the past burn and let's run
Run away from this place
