[Verse 1]
When the devil came
He was not red
He was chrome, and he said
Come with me
[Verse 2]
You must go
So I went
Where everything was clean
So precise and towering
[Verse 3]
I was welcomed
With open arms
I received so much help in every way
I felt no fear
I felt no fear
[Verse 4]
The air was crisp
Like sunny late Winter days
A Springtime yawning high in the haze
And I felt like I belonged
Come with me
[Outro]
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me

Maybe “Hell Is Chrome” is about wanting the inverse. It’s hellish for me to so badly want order in a world where you can’t have it. My impulse when I write is an almost obsessive-compulsive desire for order. It almost hurts.
