Regrets collect like old friends

Hare to relive your darkest moments

I can see no way

I can see no way

And all of the ghouls come out to play

 

Every demon wants his pound of flesh

But I like to keep some things to myself

I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

And I've been a fool

And I've been blind

I can never leave the past behind

I can see no way

I can see no way

I'm always dragging that horse around

 

And our love is pastured 

such a mornful sound

Tonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the ground

 

So I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

Shake it out shake it out

shake it out shake it out

And It's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off

 

I am done with my graceless heart

So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart

'Cause I like to keep my issues strong

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

Shake it out shake it out

shake it out shake it out

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

So shake him off

 

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

 

And given half the chance

would I take any of it back

 

It's a final mess

but it left me so empty

 

It's always darkest before the dawn

 

And I'm damned if I do

And I'm damned if I don't

So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

And I'm ready to suffer

And I'm ready to hope

It's a shot in the dark 

and right at my throat

'Cause

 

Looking for heaven

for the devil in me

Looking for heaven

for the devil in me

Well what the hell

I'm gonna let it happen to me

 

Shake it out shake it out

shake it out shake it out

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

so shake him off

Shake it out shake it out

Shake it out shake it out

And it's hard to dance with a devil on your back

so shake him off
