The sea is wide as the sky is blue
You're standing on the shoreline but all is lost on you
For your mind is heavy and it seems your ship has sailed
You try to see the big picture but the Devil's in the detailsIt starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the detailsHope is like a house with the porch light on
Even the dark keeps moving towards the dawn
They'll try to tear a good man down just to watch him fail
And they'll do it with a smile cause the Devil's in the detailsIt starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
It starts with a knock at the door
And once more
Thriving within the mistake
He elaborates
Twisting the meaning he seems
To come clean
Devil in the details
