Wrote this in September 2020, trying to channel the Cramps.
lyrics
I build my walls all around
a maze dug deep under the ground
I build a dusty, damp, and quiet space
this is my own hell that I embrace
CHORUS:
we all afraid of going to hell
maybe we all just build it ourselves
if there's no devil we can make our own
set him up on his little throne
his smile is mirthful and malformed
polishing up his twisted horns
BRIDGE
I'm drinking whisky tonight
a voice in my head says that's alright
the devil says when tomorrow comes
the future will look so bright
The devil has his talking points
for Damnation, Inc.
he says eternal suffering
not as bad as people think
it only hurts a little bit
in eternity it's just a little prick
