Analysis of The Devil’s Game
jody l cooke 2021 (north carolina)
There’s a ghost inside the mirror someone’s face I use to know jumbled thoughts and shattered dreams
Tell me what more can I do to save me and forget about you
You know it’s all a devil’s game caught up in a world of fortune and fame
You watch me crumble and watch me fall and when I’m looking into your eyes I feel so shamed
You know it’s all a part of the devil’s game
You make my heart ache and I feel your pain twisting my mind and curdling my brain
Just one more touch can crush me you got me in your clutch
You know it’s all a devil’s game caught up in a world of fortune and fame
