The Place After This One (2025) Underoath 🇺🇸 USA

(There’s a devil on my back)

They say the devil's on your shoulder but I swear he’s in my bed

No way I’m ever getting better with it spinning in my head


He don't care if you want it

He don't care where you've been

A fucking cycle that goes round and round and around and around again


It’s a cry out for help to you and nobody else

You can lie and you can tell that I am doomed and I don’t know myself


Love me if you want

I know that I'm wrong

Try and change me

Blame me if you want

For anything at all

I threw it all away


There’s a devil on my back


You can run but it’s useless

You can hide till you let it in

You can tie your own noose, man

Over and over again


It’s a cry out for help to you and nobody else

You can lie and you can tell that I am doomed and I don’t know myself


Love me if you want

I know that I'm wrong

Try and change me

Blame me if you want

For anything at all

I threw it all away


There’s a devil on my back


Like a child in the darkness

I was begging to see

Do you care that I'm desperate

Down on my knees

No love

No hope

No peace

Like a fear that you can't shake

Nightmare coming true

There's no rest for the lonely

I swear there's proof

No love

No hope

No peace

I threw it all away

There’s a devil on my back

I made myself a victim and I counted up the score

I called your pill my medicine and made myself your whore


I told myself I loved you and that we needed space

You kill me with your silence, tie me with grace


You can pray but you’re always gonna carry the weight

You can beg but you’re never gonna bury the shame

What a waste, what a waste, no we’ll never escape

Yeah, you’ll still be left with loss

You're stuck living in your skin

Till the bitter end

You can pray but you’re always gonna carry the weight

Yeah, you'll still be left with loss


It was 3 am and I was begging God to teach me to get high

He told me ride it out, make Him proud and stare straight at the sky


Now I'm stuck in this white-tiled hell

Lining up in a straight jacket

Yeah, I know that I said I need help

This ain't help, it's a bandage

Don't fix my head


You can pray but you’re always gonna carry the weight

You can beg but you’re never gonna bury the shame

What a waste, what a waste, no we’ll never escape

Yeah, you'll still be left with loss

You're stuck living in your skin

Till the bitter end

You can pray but you’re always gonna carry the weight

Yeah, you'll still be left with loss


Loss

I'm lost


I failed, was this all just for nothing

God, I thought I'd feel something

Was this all just for nothing

I can't feel a thing


You can pray but you’re always gonna carry the weight

You can beg but you’re never gonna bury the shame

What a waste, what a waste, no we’ll never escape

Yeah, you'll still be left with loss

You're stuck living in your skin

Till the bitter end

You can pray but you’re always gonna carry the weight

Yeah, you'll still be left with loss

This is survivor's guilt

Seven years I'm eight down in ‘23

I would have gone with them if it was up to me

A sand empire is what I've built, now I'm stuck here with survivor's guilt


We used to cut lines together

So we'd have a story to tell

It's not like I did any better

Just dodged a bullet from hell


I'm not sleeping

They're all leaving

I'm still bleeding

I'm still screaming


Guilt, guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Covered up so you won't forget

That you wasted the best of your days

It was all just for nothing

Guilt, guilt, guilt, yeah, you’re on your own

A rent-free nightmare in your bones

Beautiful people are taken

Open your eyes

We remember our own

Two fingers pressed against my neck

I wish I could just trust my friends

Instead I'm such a wasted space, my God it never ends


It’s too damn bad

I can’t get enough blood on my hands

I think I made it up, I’m going mad

Another empire that I built

I guess this is survivor's guilt


Guilt, guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Covered up so you won't forget

That you wasted the best of your days

It was all just for nothing

Guilt, guilt, guilt, yeah, you’re on your own

A rent-free nightmare in your bones

Beautiful people are taken

Open your eyes

We remember our own


We got it all but we’re stuck in the trenches,

Crying for help but it’s just two feet deep

Losing limbs might be part of the process, what happens next is a choice that ain’t cheap

When we all go extinct

Don't remember our names

Cause we closed our eyes

Let life pass us by

We carry the blame



Guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Was it all just for nothing

Was it all just for nothing

Guilt, guilt tied around your neck

Was it all just for nothing

It was all just for nothing

Prayers are useless

Seeing double

Another Friday night

Three vodkas deep

Another level

Fucking dynamite


Money gone

Vision gone

Think I’m God

Love is gone


I'm not abusing anything

That shit's abusing me

Another round

Delete 'em now

Let's go bartender, please


Money gone

Vision gone

Think I’m God

Love is gone


All alone, it's last call again

I want another one, don't need another one

Pull the trigger, let's watch it end

Gimme another cause


All the love is gone

Got a hole in my heart filled with nothing

I can't breathe cause all the love is gone

All the love is gone


I lost my wallet

Can't find my keys

My bag's been empty since 2:15

I'm sinking deep

Just met the devil

I'm still going

Another level


All alone, it's last call again

I want another one, don't need another one

Pull the trigger, let's watch it end

Gimme another cause


All the love is gone

Got a hole in my heart filled with nothing

I can't breathe cause all the love is gone

All the love is gone





I'm sinking deep

Just met the devil

I'm still going

Another level


Money gone

Vision gone

Think I’m God

Love is gone


All the love is gone

Got a hole in my heart filled with nothing

I can't breathe cause all the love is gone

All the love is g

I found another way to hate me

I’ve been wringing out my soul

I got a taste of something empty

And I keep wanting more


Paint me on the wall

Dare to watch me crawl


Say what you want

Say what you need

Cover me up with your disbelief

Come on and watch me fall

I’ll swallow the pill

I’ll live with the truth

I’ll do whatever you want me to do

I’m done earning your love

Fuck you, I'm enough


If I kept on living your way

I’d be six feet underneath

No, I didn’t keep a single thing

It was all so fucked


Paint me on the wall

Dare to watch me crawl


Say what you want

Say what you need

Cover me up with your disbelief

Come on and watch me fall

I’ll swallow the pill

I’ll live with the truth

I’ll do whatever you want me to do

I’m done earning your love

Fuck you, I'm enough


Come on

Just leave me to myself

Leave me to myself

Fuck you, I’m enough

Fuck you, I’m enough

Feels like I’m dreaming and I know what happens next

Caught in the deep end with your hands around my neck

Hang on, help ain’t coming

My screams are silent, no sound

Slow down, I can’t keep running

Saw this coming, should’ve saw this coming


You come alive every single bite

Flesh in your mouth, smile out of spite

How’s it taste? Can’t be your first time

Hang me outside till I’m left bone dry


Fading fast, I can barely see

Blood in your mouth, don’t you look happy?

Bury me where your secrets sleep

What’s it taste like when you’re lying through your teeth?


Feels like forever since I had an ounce of hope

Want it to be over but I’m learning how to cope

Hold on, I ain’t ready

One breath, no chance, hold steady

Time’s up, can’t keep running

Saw this coming, should’ve saw this coming


You come alive every single bite

Flesh in your mouth, smile out of spite

How’s it taste? Can’t be your first time

Hang me outside till I’m left bone dry


Fading fast, I can barely see

Blood in your mouth, don’t you look happy?

Bury me where your secrets sleep

What’s it taste like when you’re lying through your teeth?


I don’t even care if there’s skin left on the bone

I don’t even care if you let me die alone

Tell me what it tastes like

Tell me how you sleep

Tell me all about it while you're lying through your teeth


Lying through your teeth

You tried to write your story with all our blood

You lit the match but I got a gun


Now everybody, everybody on your knees

Everybody, everybody on your knees


It feels like falling

Evil you wanted

Bet you feel safe

Carry the weight

One chance and you're all in

I can't believe it

You gave everything

And all you made was shame

Shame

And all you made was shame

Gave everything you had, now you got nothing left but shame


I drew a line in the sand that I know you won't cross

Call me out, run your mouth, now you got what you want

Face it, you’re gone now

Fake it, no god now

Take it and bow down

I hope you’re proud now


It feels like falling

Evil you wanted

Bet you feel safe

Carry the weight

One chance and you're all in

I can't believe it

You gave everything

And all you made was shame

Shame

And all you made was shame

Gave everything you had, now you got nothing left but shame


Everybody, everybody on your knees

Everybody, everybody on your knees


It feels like falling

Evil you wanted

Bet you feel safe

Carry the weight

One chance and you're all in

I can't believe it

You gave everything

And all you made was shame

Shame

And all you made was shame

Gave everything you had, now you got nothing left but shame

When nothing makes sense

And everything's spinning in place

Stuck in the hell that you made

Tomorrow will be better they say

When it’s not, I’ll say it again


It’s 6 am and I’m still awake

It’s been that way for a hundred days

I’ve got this pain deep in my chest

It follows me like blind regret


I ain’t got no body

Cause I gave up my soul

Nah, I don’t wanna be sorry

I don’t need to be sold


It feels the same

You give, you take

It’s all the same to me


When nothing makes sense

And everything's spinning in place

Stuck in the hell that you made

Tomorrow will be better they say

When it’s not, I’ll say it again


I’ll say it again, yeah yeah


I don't even care

You were never even there

We were just a lie

Just a bunch of wasted time

Nothing left to bear

There was nothing ever there

Not a single reason why


How can you live with yourself?


When nothing makes sense

And everything's spinning in place

Stuck in the hell that you made

Tomorrow will be better they say

When it’s not, I’ll say it again

Two days, I still can’t catch no sleep

I came down, my heart feels outta sync

I daydream that there’s nothing more for me

By now, you’d think I would believe

In every word you said

In every lie you fed

In every word you left me begging to see the end


There used to be a spark here

You know you snuffed it out

Stop acting like you care

While my heart's in your mouth


So tell me, how’s it feel now

That you circle with the vultures

So tell me, how’s it feel now

That you circle with the vultures


Laid out, the sun is in my eyes

I smile, they’re eating me alive

It’s too late for me to even try

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye


There used to be a spark here

You know you snuffed it out

Stop acting like you care

While my heart's in your mouth


So tell me, how’s it feel now

That you circle with the vultures

So tell me, how’s it feel now

That you circle with the vultures


I don’t know how to let it go

So I’ll let you tear my skin from the bone

Fading in and out of the light

I let you take me to the other side

I was never worth it

You made it real

I was never worth it

I’ll never heal


So tell me, how’s it feel now

That you circle with the vultures

So tell me, how’s it feel now

That you circle with the vultures

What if I learned to hate

What if you learned to fight fair

What if you didn’t make me feel like a criminal

Look in the mirror, you animal


What if I learned to care

What if you didn’t use me

What if I didn’t bite my tongue, you cannibal

I can forgive but I won’t forget this


Dig your grave and call it home

Now you’re stuck at the bottom

Carved your name in the stone

You cannibal

There's no hope, put an end to this nightmare

Watch it die, breathe it in, no, I’m not scared

I’ll meet you down at the bottom

I am the one that haunts your ghost


What if you walked away

Instead of spitting your poison

It didn’t have to end up like this

You’re drunk, buzzing on the regret


You want a goodbye, I wanna disappear

Couldn’t spin another line that I wanna hear

Couldn’t say another word that would make me care

I can forgive but I won’t forget this


Dig your grave and call it home

Now you’re stuck at the bottom

Carved your name in the stone

You cannibal

There's no hope, put an end to this nightmare

Watch it die, breathe it in, no, I’m not scared

I’ll meet you down at the bottom

I am the one that haunts your ghost


Cannibal

You cannibal


So I’ll pray to anything, anyone

That can save me from what you are

So I take another step, another way

This road don’t look so far


So tell me that I’m not enough

And you’re happy that I gave up

The deeper and further this goes

The more I realize the love that I deserve

Hey, watch me, it’s free

I can be your martyr

A different breed of liar

Hey, are you like me?

Nothing on the inside

A perfectly drawn outline


I wanna feel vain but I’m really a mess

It’s hard to accept I’m such a mess

Everything is public and there’s nothing free

I’m an artificial mountain, you can have the keys

All the lines blur into one

I’m a ghost that’s on the run

I made myself public, I’m a masterpiece

Sell my soul for free


Sew my eyes shut

Block out all the sun

Close the doors


Open me up

Tell me that I’m perfect

I need more, give me more


A voice in my head and a weight on my chest

Calling to me, digging into my flesh

I wanna feel vain but I’m really a mess

It’s hard to accept that I’m such a mess

Everything is public and there’s nothing free

I’m an artificial mountain, you can have the keys

All the lines blur into one

I’m a ghost that’s on the run

I made myself public, I’m a masterpiece

Sell my soul for free


If I’m being honest here

If I’m being honest, I’m on the run
