Billy Talent - Devil On My Shoulder Lyrics






As I get closer, my dreams get farther
I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
There ain't no pot of gold, just copper tokens
I found the key to life, the lock was broken
All my accomplishments, are best left unspoken

I dug a hole so deep
I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
Can't even sell my soul
'Cause it ain't worth shit to take

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
The hounds of hell are getting closer (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

My horror story is nearly over
I said I'm sorry, but I was sober
I beg for mercy from my infernal friend
The one that drops the nails into my coffin

I got the devil on my shoulder
I got the devil on my shoulder

I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)
And I just can't sink any lower (lower and lower)
They come to take me, take me over (closer and closer)
I got the devil on my shoulder (over and over)

    I dug a hole so deep
    I'm gonna drown in my mistakes
    Can't even sell my soul

    And I just can't sink any lower, lower and lower
    The hounds of hell are getting closer, closer and closer
    I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over

    They've come to take me, take me over, over and over
    I've got the devil on my shoulder, over and over

  42. i.... a....

    Song that discribs me so much

  43. e.... ....

    This could have been the theme song for Supernatural.

  44. k.... ....

    Doktor Faust. Mephisto. Deutsch Lk.

  45. C.... c....

    Can you be punished for listening to this song in church? 🤔 😅

    C.... c....

    What I remember this song is about they close friend who got some sickness to me it sound like mental health issue or maybe something esle

    C.... c....

    @Savior1ch And that's what I love about music, one song can have thousands of different meanings and everyone can put their own meaning into it. Everybody can feel a certain connection to a song even though it's not in the same way as somebody else or everybody else. But people feel connected to each other through music, because there's so much room for interpretation.

  46. H.... M....

    When are they going to put out another album already? They didn't break up did they?

    H.... M....

    No they didn't they have released 6 albums, this is the third album.

  47. k.... l....

    So good. My faves are this one, Try Honesty, Devil In A Midnight Mass, and so much more. I saw their concert at Stampede this summer and it was SO SICK.

  48. G.... 2....

    Anyone noticed the contract at 2:55 is just the lyrics of the song? xD Nice contract!

    G.... 2....

    I was trying to see it one time but yes I did notice one time, I think it's such a nice little touch honestly.
