Sleeping With The Devil

[Verse 1]
Teeth marks on my pillow
Burnt prayers on the floor
Cross turned to a shadow
Nails claw at the door
Cold sweat in the daylight
Red eyes in the glass
I beg for a lifeline
He laughs when I ask
[Chorus]
I’ve been sleeping with the devil
While my god won’t take my calls
Every halo that I borrowed
Hit the ground and cracked like skulls
If salvation’s just a story
Then I’ll carve my own damn crown
I’ve been sleeping with the devil
And he’s all I’ve got for now (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Ash stuck in my lungs now
Tongue tastes just like rust
Faith broke like a bottle
Spilled hope in the dust
You said there was a kingdom
You swore there was a plan
All I found were locked doors
And blood on my hands
[Chorus]
I’ve been sleeping with the devil
While my god won’t take my calls
Every halo that I borrowed
Hit the ground and cracked like skulls
If salvation’s just a story
Then I’ll carve my own damn crown
I’ve been sleeping with the devil
And he’s all I’ve got for now
[Bridge]
Are you there?
Are you there?
Or just a voice inside my head? (inside my head)
Pull me out
Or shut me down
’Cause I’m in love with what I dread
[Chorus]
I’ve been sleeping with the devil
While my god won’t take my calls
Every promise that you whispered
Turned to teeth against my throat
If redemption’s just a rumor
Then I’ll burn this temple down
I’ve been sleeping with the devil
And he’s all I’ve got for now (for now)

rock, Crushing nu-metal meets alternative metalcore: drop-tuned riffs, chugging palm mutes, and dissonant bends. Male vocals switch between tortured screams and anguished melodic lines; gang shouts reinforce key phrases. Drums slam with double-kick bursts and half-time breakdowns, bass snarls with light distortion. Verses stay tense and syncopated; chorus widens with open chords and soaring top-line. Final pass explodes into layered screams and feedback-drenched outro., metal, alternative rock, nu metal
