Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Raised on hard floors
And colder hands
Learned how to bite back
Learned how to stand
Mama kept praying
Dad kept the door
I kept my secrets
Under the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore my bruises
Like Sunday clothes
Sweat in my lungs
Blood in my throat
I fought my shadow
Down every hall
Thought I was winning
Thought I was tall
[Chorus]
The devil knows my name
He knew my heart was gold
The devil knows my name
But my hands turned cold
It was my actions
That made coal, rock
Blood, sweat, and tears
Still he took me, lost
[Verse 2]
Streetlight confessions
Black coffee nights
Broken boy moving
Outside the lines
Every wrong turn
Wrote me in ash
Every good wish
Came back too fast
I kept on swinging
At my own skin
One step to heaven
Two back in sin
[Pre-Chorus]
I wore my bruises
Like Sunday clothes
Sweat in my lungs
Blood in my throat
I fought my shadow
Down every hall
Thought I was winning
Thought I was tall
[Chorus]
The devil knows my name
He knew my heart was gold
The devil knows my name
But my hands turned cold
It was my actions
That made coal, rock
Blood, sweat, and tears
Still he took me, lost
[Bridge]
If I could trade
These scars for grace
I’d burn the pride
Right off my face
But every prayer
Came out as smoke
And every good thing
I broke, I broke
[Final Chorus]
The devil knows my name
He knew my heart was gold
The devil knows my name
But my hands turned cold
It was my actions
That made coal, rock
Blood, sweat, and tears
Still he took me, lost
The devil knows my heart
Was gold before it rotted
The devil knows my heart
Was gold before I lost it
