[Verse]
The devil don’t even want me,
I’m too broke for his deal.
Alone in a crowd of faces,
Where nothing feels real.
Hell on earth, they call it life,
But it cuts like a rusted knife.
[Chorus]
I’m dragging chains of responsibility,
Living a lie they sold to me.
Got the face of a joker, painted bright,
But it’s all shadows in the dead of night.
The devil don’t even want me, no sir,
I’m a sinner without a fire to burn.
[Verse 2]
Mama said to stand up straight,
Daddy preached a working man’s fate.
But these boots are heavy, the road is long,
And every step feels dead wrong.
Ain’t no angel calling my name,
Just this bitter wind and the same old shame.
[Prechorus]
I laugh too loud, I drink too much,
I’m hell’s reject, out of touch.
[Chorus]
I’m dragging chains of responsibility,
Living a lie they sold to me.
Got the face of a joker, painted bright,
But it’s all shadows in the dead of night.
The devil don’t even want me, no sir,
I’m a sinner without a fire to burn.
[Bridge]
I’d trade this life for a song and a breeze,
Shake off the dust, fall to my knees.
But prayers don’t stick to a man like me,
Just the weight of what’ll never be.
