Love Starved the Devil Side

from T​+​HE​/​AR​-​T (EP) by A Flower in Disguise

lyrics

Goes by many names
It’s not a demon, or monster
You can keep away
I put it metaphorically
Manipulate the story
It’s the artist way of anti-heroinism

So, you can handle it against the grain
A cute little name, masking my pain
Give personification to what you won’t say
Could be what’s killing me
What I live with everyday

Held it in and pretend living through them
Today Nina’s blackbird, tomorrow it’s Edgar’s raven
Love starved the devil side, comfort deprived the devil side
Driven further into isolation
Fear smiles and terror laughs
I’m the problem
Put the mask back

Passive in agreement
You conditioned me
Held it in and pretend
It’s not happening, not this again
But normal is an illusion
And I am a child of chaos and stand neutral
Conditioned me to equate love with pain
The loss is ever growing
Held it in and pretend
It’s not happening, not this again
Normal is an illusion
And I am a child of chaos and stand neutral

So, you can handle it against the grain
A cute little name, masking my pain
Give personification to what you won’t say
Could be what’s killing me
What I live with everyday

Held it in and pretend living through them
Today Nina’s blackbird, tomorrow it’s Edgar’s raven
Love starved the devil side, comfort deprived the devil side
Driven further into isolation
Fear smiles and terror laughs
I’m the problem
Put the mask back
Love starved the devil side
Driven further into isolation
Fear smiles and terror laughs
I’m the problem
Put the mask back
So, you can sleep tight with the lights on
Hold your god’s and monsters tight
It’s not a demon
You can keep away
I put it metaphorically
Manipulate the story
