From the recording Battle With The Devil
The singer is locked in a toxic, intoxicating relationship that feels like fighting a devil inside his own skin, torn between fear and desire. He begs to be consumed and “hunted down” while confessing he can’t escape, circling obsessively around the person who has such a dangerous hold over them.
Lyrics
I was sure at first and now it’s clear
Why they are there and we are here
No need to wonder what will be
All your secrets stay with me
Stay with me
You get right under my skin
It’s a battle with the devil within
You get right under my skin
It’s a battle with the devil within
I’m talking to you
What can I do
Swallow me whole, devour me
I want to know the side of you no one can see
And take me now, I’m your prey
Will you hunt me down, will you lead me away
I swore I knew the game we’d play
But now the fog has blown away
You’re out of reach, I can’t be free
And still your secrets stay with me
Stay with me
You crawl right under my skin
It’s a war with the devil within
You crawl right under my skin
It’s a war with the devil within
I’m talking to you
What can I do
Swallow me whole, unmake me
I want the hidden side of you to take me
So grab me now, I pray
Will you hunt me down or will you make me stay
I’m talking to you
I’m talking to you
