[Intro]
Late night
Cold air
He waits
I stare
[Verse 1]
He said, “Sign here”
Gold ink on the ash
Every little weakness
He recites it back
Knows my search history
Knows my pride, my fear
Whispers every failure
Right into my ear (yeah)
Candle on the table
Flame bending toward him
I can feel my ribcage
Ringing like an organ
[Pre-Chorus]
But I ain’t kneeling
I ain’t cheap
You want my halo?
Gotta bleed
[Chorus]
Devil want the glow he wants to steal
But it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s real
You can drag your claws across my name
I still rise, I still burn, unfazed
Yeah, you want my soul, that’s clear
But you can’t hold what don’t know fear
You can circle, circle, circle me
I stay holy in the heat
[Verse 2]
He said, “You’re tired
Let me make it easy
You could run the kingdom
If you just believe me”
Showed me every throne
Built from someone else’s ruin
Said, “All this, all this
All for you, just choose it”
But my grandma’s Bible
Tattooed on my brain
Every single verse
Cutting through the flames
So I quote that scripture
Right back in his face
See his perfect posture
Shiver out of place (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t kneeling
I won’t fold
You want my crown?
Bring your cold
[Chorus]
Devil want the glow he wants to steal
But it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s real
You can drag your claws across my name
I still rise, I still burn, unfazed
Yeah, you want my soul, that’s clear
But you can’t hold what don’t know fear
You can circle, circle, circle me
I stay holy in the heat
[Bridge]
Bare feet on the floorboards
Hear a distant choir
Old tongues, old wars
Bow and broken lyre
He laughs, “They left you”
I say, “Watch me prove ‘em wrong”
Every scar a drum hit
Every breath a battle song (woah)
[Chorus]
Devil want the glow he wants to steal
But it’s mine, it’s mine, it’s real
You can drag your claws across my name
I still rise, I still burn, unfazed
Yeah, you want my soul, that’s clear
But you can’t hold what don’t know fear
You can circle, circle, circle me
I stay holy in the heat
[Outro]
You want my glow?
Come take this fire
I walk out laughing
Through your choir
