[Verse 1]
Black smoke rising from the back of my mind
Every bad decision got me walking that line
Red eyes staring from the mirror at me
Saying “boy, you built this hell, now drown in the heat”
Bottle on the dresser, blood on the floor
Every broken promise hanging off the door
I keep praying but the silence cuts deep
Guess the devil never lets a good man sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear him whisper like a loaded gun
“Come a little closer, son”
[Chorus]
I still dance with the devil I know
Two-stepping through the fire, letting chaos grow
He’s got my name carved deep in the stone
Says heaven feels cold when you’re dying alone
I fight, I fall, I lose control
Still chasing ghosts through the wreckage I hold
Yeah, I bleed for the hell I chose
I still dance with the devil I know
[Verse 2]
She said “you’re not the man you used to be”
I said “baby, that man got buried with me”
Now I wear my sins like a second skin
Smile for the crowd while I rot within
Every midnight feels like judgment day
Every sunrise just burns slower this way
I keep running but the past runs fast
Funny how the darkest things are built to last
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear him laughing in the pouring rain
Saying “you’ll be back again”
[Chorus]
I still dance with the devil I know
Two-stepping through the fire, letting chaos grow
He’s got my name carved deep in the stone
Says heaven feels cold when you’re dying alone
I fight, I fall, I lose control
Still chasing ghosts through the wreckage I hold
Yeah, I bleed for the hell I chose
I still dance with the devil I know
[Bridge – Screamed]
I am the sinner!
I am the flame!
I kissed the darkness
And it learned my name!
No savior coming—
No hand to hold!
Just me and the monster
I made from my soul!
[Final Chorus]
I still dance with the devil I know
Barefoot in the ashes, never letting go
He’s got my truth buried under my bones
Says peace is a lie for the hearts this cold
I fight, I fall, I lose control
But I’d rather burn than never feel at all
Yeah, I am the hell I chose
I still dance with the devil I know
