I'm the devil on your shoulder
I'm here to tell you when to quit it
I'm saving you from greatness
I'll hold you back before you kick it
You could draw the sky
You could sing about love
You could go outside
You could make a stand
It just takes a thought
It just takes a spark
To inspire change
If that is what you want, if that is what you're here for
I know it sounds amazing, but please reconsider
Every time you come up with ideas like that
It's all a waste of time, so better sit back down
You could write a book
You could be living your dreams
You could meet new friends
You could be seeing the world
It just takes an idea
It just takes a step
To change your fate
(Sure)
If that is what you want, if that is what you're here for
I know it sounds amazing, but it's never easy
Every time you come up with ideas like that
It's all a waste of time, you better give it up
One more try is what you always say to yourself
Discipline, every day, that sure sounds like pain
Save your breath, put your feet up, and stop right now
I'm the devil on your shoulder
Making sure that you grow older
Listen here, I learnt the hard way
Burning out just turns you colder
