Mephisto

I was looking for a home, was shadowed by the shadow of Mephisto again
I was looking for a reason I could not stay angry with Mephisto again
What is my move, will I be moved, stuck inside an island groove again
I was looking for a station standing in defiance of Mephisto
to win, to win
A man from Pennyslvania said to find the helpers,
they can form a fist in the air
Wipe that smile off your face you think I'll never find my place Mephisto
I'll make a move, I can be moved
from a lazy afternoon again
How can i be worthy when my house still bears the traces of Mephisto
Again, again

A woman of the cloth told me a bit about your kryptonite Mephisto
Loving sinners isn't easy, I can barely love myself Mephisto
Always unmoved, always confused
Feeding on a constant feed all day
How'd you do it how'd you put an expiration date on all my feelings
Mephisto

Maybe I wanted, I wanted to be
Maybe I wanted, I wanted to be free
Maybe I wanted, I wanted to be
Maybe I wanted, I wanted to be free

I was shadowed by a shadow, I was shadowed by a shadow
I was shadowed by a shadow, I was shadowed by a shadow
I was looking for a place to stay, I saw the shadow of Mephisto
Again, again
