My Melody

If the devil knew my melody 
He'd stay away 
He'd say this troubled man never needed me 
He'll fade away 
Lion hearted torn in two, that's yesterday 
Teeth won't open anymore 
Where'd you run away 
No one knows the hurt that you put yourself through 
No one could ever see the shade that you are flew 
And life has become something like a mess 
I hope I know
It's not a contest 

If the devil knew my melody 
He'd stay away 
I've torn my wings like butterflies 
In sun I never play 
I wish I could tell happier stories 
I wish that I knew them at all 
I wish that I was stronger now 
But a man can only survive such a fall 
And I fall 

If the devil knew my melody 
He'd stay away 
Too much for mortal or a god that's always me
I hope some day I'll find a river 
And if I do they'll send me on my way 
But until I'm dead I'll always be a quiver 
I'm a tortured soul 
It's been a long December
