IDLE HANDS

I have felt a wave 

Of such tremendous shame

It's stirring up my brain

And now it's pouring out my ears

 

I guess I need to sleep 

It's been about a week 

It's mixing up my dreams 

And now they happen in the day

 

If God loves us

And God leads us

The devil's yanking my chain

 

This fever gets sweaty

My temperature is steady

But in my head I'm dying

If Idle hands are the devil's playthings

Well I can't write what I'm not saying

If he wants to play let's let him play

 

If I were to find my habits on the line

I'd drop this waste of time and pick up something else

But deep within my mind 

There's something on the vine 

A song that I can write that 

Isn't full of shit

 

Just put the bottle down

You spilled some embers on the couch 

And now you're burning down

The only ties that keep you on the ground

Pour your spirit out

Cause all you think about is what you would be if you had some balls

Why don't you use em now

 

If God loves us

And God leads us

The devil's yanking my chain

 

This fever gets sweaty

My temperature is steady

But in my head I'm dying

If Idle hands are the devil's playthings

Well I can't write what I'm not saying

If he wants to play let's let him play

 

If he wants to play let's let him play

 

If he wants to play

Let him try to play today
