this is a work in progress. still- enjoy sharing things we're working on. this song could wind up being released virtually as is, or undergo some change. but here is the work in progress as it is today.
working lyrics:
now that
you’re with me
holding on together..
why did you have to
do this to me?
get up just
hand her the letter
you’re a devil
you believe in sowing untold trouble
been a long time
since you met a double
you can’t remember any other
i’m a devil
i’ve always been
i guess i’ve never really settled
you don’t remember
do you baby?
you’re a devil
and i’m a devil too
and that is why i’ve gotta leave you
‘that’s why i’ve gotta leave you
i’m a little
shocked
that you didn’t see this coming
see the magnetsee me calling
see me running
you don’t know anything
you don’t know anything
i’m a devil
i’ve always been
i guess i’ll never be de-devilled
you don’t remember
do you baby?
you’re a devil
and i’m a devil too
and that is why i’ve gotta leave you
‘that’s why i’ve gotta leave you
i’m a devil
you’re a devil
that’s
what we do
for the sake of what i build
i need to leave you
i will love you
til the day i can
defeat you
oh admit it i admit it
i’m the devil

This video is part of our reverse sync series, where we take short films we genuinely love and re-edit them around flora cash songs while trying to preserve as much of the original sequence as possible.
