[Instrumental] [Chorus] It's that devil within that sends me down the spiral It's our trials that bind us to this skin we're trapped inside of [Intro] [steel-string acoustic guitar enters with percussive palm mutes and low-register accents] [Verse 1] Eventually there will be a time When I will need to decide Which side of the isle I will reside Cause this place in time that holds me tight I'm getting so tired of hearing the sirens The signaled warnings and the sound of the fights [Chorus] It's that devil within that sends me down the spiral It's our trials that bind us to this skin we're trapped inside of [Cello Lead] [Verse 2] It's been in the deepest darkest times of life That I had to sit and think about the reason why And how come the things that arise With the fact that I survived When I was sure I was to die But in the darkness of night Where the light's hard to find I waste so much time Looking for a way to rewind [Chorus] It's that devil within that sends me down the spiral It's our trials that bind us to this skin we're trapped inside of [Main Theme] [strummed G major and C major chord variations] [percussive string slaps on beats 2 and 4] [syncopated bass note walk-downs] [Bridge Section] [shift to minor chords, Em and Am] [increased strumming intensity with rapid sixteenth-note flourishes] [Verse 3] I could beg and plead but he'd just laugh at me Right in my face as I struggle to breathe Cause it's not just the demons within me that see The things overflowing the cup with with every heartbeat I'm running out of strength so I just ask you please Before its final beat, Oh Father help me Cause I know [Chorus] It's that devil within that sends me down the spiral It's our trials that bind us to this skin we're trapped inside of [Guitar Lead] [Outro] [decelerating tempo] [final percussive slap followed by a sustained G major chord ring-out]
