lyrics

Lefty’s Deceiver

It’s a sly little reaper
from a family of fear
And I get the urge to follow
when it whispers in my ear
But it will only leave me
cryin’ in my bed
That’s Lefty’s Deceiver
oh, that’s Lefty’s Deceiver

It stands right beside me
like an old faithful friend
Coaxing me convincingly
as I sleepwalk towards the edge
But it will only leave me
broken, hard to mend
that’s Lefty’s Deceiver
oh, that’s Lefty’s Deceiver

Fits like a glove
Mistaken for love
It gets strong to see me weak
Bleeding me, drowning me
losing energy…
Draggin’ me down
Ragin’, Ragin’, RAGIN’ on!

Hey I see through the veil
There’s damage down your trail
And things start to look nice
When I slip out of your vice
Now I want someone to hold me tight
But not you!
Not Lefty’s Deceiver
no, no, not Lefty’s Deceiver

Don’t pick up that receiver…It’s Lefty’s Deceiver
