He plays with your ways

Swims through your mind

Numbers your days

Always unkind

I see you there 

On that swing

Feeling fear 

Feeling nothing

Inside you he builds

Hides what is true

A sword he wields

Now what do you do

The Devil's Playground

He plays with what you think is real

Without a sound 

He makes you a deal

You sold your soul to the devil

You no longer have the deed

You are evil

You can no longer read

Stuck in his maze

You can't find the right way

Stuck in this phase 

Another day

You try to cheat

To break the wall

You try to be discreet

But in the end you always fall

Your spring has been wound

Your string has been pulled

Sin piled on by the pound

You have been fooled

By the great deceiver 

You have been torn apart

You were the receiver 

From the start

You took a loss

You took a vow

You started to pause

After all of this now

You can't take it any longer 

The pressure building

No longer getting stronger

No longer hold what you were wielding

The Devil's Playground

He makes you a deal

Without a sound 

He makes it all seem real
