Ruby Soho Lyrics: Devil's Advocate

So this one is pretty intense.. standard Soho behaviour... I wrote it a couple of months ago when I was listening to a Fiona Apple CD.

It's about my last relationship and the feeling you get when you betray someone you love in a physical manner. Eg... being a pashrat because you're not ready for commitment. And then hurting the person that loves you most because of careless actions.

Here it is.

Devil's Advocate by Ruby Soho

I feel like the devil's advocate

How do I ride my soul of these sins?

I broke a man I took him for all he had

I opened his heart and sucked it dry

Chorus:

God if your there can you help me

Can you save me from the spitting gates of hell

Can you forgive my heart and make it right

Can you lift this terror from my soul?

I'm to scared to walk to the next point now

My wings have been clipped and I can no longer fly

I've numbed my soul and I've wrapped it up

I'm no longer scared to die

Chorus:

God if your there can you help me

Can you save me from the spitting gates of hell

Can you forgive my heart and make it right

Can you lift this terror from my soul?

I am the devils advocate

There is no way of saving my soul now

He broke me and took me for all I had

And now we're both no longer scared to die

I'll be playing this Sunday at my launch show at the Tote... If you are around come and get among the festivities of awesomeness. I'll be on at 6.30.
