Devil In The Details - (with Nick Zinner) Lyrics - Digital Ash In A Digital Urn - Bright Eyes

A house of cards 

A supple heart 

Is not a place to dwell 

Now you have your cake 

Don't hesitate 

Come on just do it, 

Come on just do it 

Put it in your mouth 

There is only now 

Tomorrow has to wait 

But know there's no backing out 

This is gonna be reality 

You can never dream it down 

I have No way 

Of telling 

The two apart 

Well I made amends 

In the general sense 

But the devil's in the details 

And I know the cause 

And I want to stop 

But I can't do it, 

I just can't do it 

There was love I meant 

There were accidents 

So tell me which is which 

'Cus I just can't work it out 

But for memory and clarity 

We had better write it down 

I have no way 

Of knowing the truth 

With time it dissolves 

I put the past into the ground 

I saw the future as a cloud 

If there's still time to turn around 

I'm going to 

Its just one day I fell asleep 

And all day all night I dreamed 

I am the first one I deceive 

If I can make myself believe 

The rest is easy...
