When The Devil Calls

from The Aftermath of '96 by Abi Moore

/

lyrics

And I fell for it once again
I fell for it one more time
How many chances will I give?
How many times will they pass me by?
I wrote the rules all by myself
In a contract that I breached
You see they don’t mean a thing no more
‘Cause I don’t practice what I preach

What makes the situation worse
Is that I know exactly how to stop the hurt
It’s just the theory looked so good
But the practice didn’t turn out the way I thought it would

CHORUS
And now I’m losing all my faith in the world today
Injustice reigns and victims pay and innocence is lost along the way
When the Devil calls, they all obey
Honesty counts for nothing and I waste my breath with every single word I say

This road will be long and harsh,
I won’t fool myself
It would laugh if I were to stumble
It would punish me if I fell
All the lessons that I learned in life,
I learned them on my own
So how am I supposed to tell
If they’re right or if they’re wrong?

I thought if I gave out love I’d get it back
And I thought if I fought for the ones I loved I’d never get attacked
I thought with a soul so true and a heart of gold, it would mean something to someone
But it seems to me that’s not the case at all

CHORUS

Why do I keep giving love a chance when it just goes up in smoke?
When even destiny slips beyond your grasp it just becomes a joke
But I won’t stop washing ‘til I’m fully clean
And I won’t stop searching ‘til I’ve found my dream
I won’t stop bleeding ‘til I’ve found a cure
And I won’t stop dying ‘til I’ve reached Heaven’s door

CHORUS to end

Abi Moore UK

Americana / Roots-Rock artist from Nottingham. Abi's 4th studio album No More Chasing marks a raucous return after 10 years.

"Impactful, gritty, & above all, brimming with conviction. Abi's stripped back, stomp 'n' holler sound instantly took us to KT Tunstall, while her rootsy, distorted Americana guitar twangs have a delicious White Stripes flavour." RCM
