text: As I get closer, my dreams get farther
  I climb that ladder, but you kick it over
  Thirsty for water, you give me vinegar
  When I drink your medicine, it just makes me sicker
  I dug a hole so deep
  I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
  Can’t even sell my soul
  ‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take
  I got the devil on my shoulder 
  And I just can’t sink any lower 
  The hounds of hell are getting closer 
  I got the devil on my shoulder 
  Follow the rainbow, my lucky omen
  There ain’t no pot of gold, just copper tokens
  I found the key to life, the lock was broken
  All my accomplishments are best left unspoken
  I dug a hole so deep
  I’m gonna drown in my mistakes
  Can’t even sell my soul
  ‘Cause it ain’t worth shit to take
  I got the devil on my shoulder 
  And I just can’t sink any lower 
  The hounds of hell are getting closer 
  I got the devil on my shoulder 
  My horror story is nearly over
  I said I’m sorry, but I was sober
  I beg for mercy from my infernal friend
  The one that drops the nails into my coffin
  I got the devil on my shoulder..
  I got the devil on my shoulder..
  I got the devil on my shoulder 
  And I just can’t sink any lower 
  They got to take me take me over 
  I got the devil on my shoulder
