Devil I Know

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

I hear him whisper like a loaded gun

“Come a little closer, son”

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

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

I hear him laughing in the pouring rain

Saying “you’ll be back again”

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

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!

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
