[Verse 1]
He says he's the devil with a crooked grin
Building up walls just to keep folks in
Brick by brick his delusion's tall
But even devils can't escape the fall
[Verse 2]
He claims he's darkness
A king of disguise
With a flame in his voice and fire in his eyes
But his walls surround a hollow core
Just a man who fears the open door
[Chorus]
Oh
Devil in his mind
Jester in his heart
Said the world can't touch him; he's fallen apart
He builds his walls and he stands so small
But he's just a shadow against them all
[Verse 3]
He whispers lies to the mirror at night
Says he's a demon who controls the fight
Yet his fortress cracks where no one can see
Trapped by the walls where he thought he'd be free
[Bridge]
Pile the stones
Keep the world at bay
But the lonely echoes won't go away
He's not a devil
He's just a man
With walls too tall for his own two hands
[Chorus]
Oh
Devil in his mind
Jester in his heart
Said the world can't touch him; he's fallen apart
He builds his walls and he stands so small
But he's just a shadow against them all
