I Don't Want To (Poor Devil)

Lyrics

Verse 1
Wake up screaming
Blood in the eyes
Do you see the evil in the
Soft shifts of life

Chorus 1
I don't want to
I know you want me to

Verse 2
We fall gently
Gently as the night
Do you feel the fire in me?
Burning through the eye

Chorus 2
I don't want to
I know you want me to

Bridge
I can feel the sun but I can't touch
I can drink the water I can't walk
I can breathe the air that I can't fly
And I can be no one...
And nothing

Verse 3
Those of us with wings
Were never fond of cages
We’re not supposed to suffer
But suffer ' til we’re dead
