Into the Open

Walk safely past suspicion
Slowly by the known
I wonder which is better
And who is waiting by the phone

They're saying your name
Trying to draw me out
Get me into the open
I know what it's about

I took your side and I made my decision
I took a ride with a mutinous crew
You never thought it might get deeper
Until the creature swallowed you

it's hungry for evil
but it came from something right
you think you know better now
and settle into the night

I went to sleep last night at three
I fought with images of love
The devil tries to keep me guessing
And angels gather from above

They're saying your name
Trying to draw me out
Get me into the open
I know what it's about
