Dancing with the Devil

Feet on fire, stalk the brimstone floor,

Chains on neck but I still want more.

Candles flare, shadows twist, they scheme,

Hands shake deals in a sulfur dream.

Two-step tango with a grin so wild,

Devil in the corner, eyes beguile.

808s hit, the ground starts to rumble,

Soul in my pocket, the dance gets humble.

Smoke curls thick, ceilings disappear,

Echoes in the distance, whispers near.

Grinning teeth in the flicker of flares,

Nowhere to run, I’m caught in his snare.

Tick-tock, clock spins counter wrong,

Heartbeat fading, shadows grow long.

Bassline kicks, I’m lost in the vibe,

Devil’s DJ spinning tracks to prescribe.

Ash in my lungs, still I fight the flow,

Gold teeth flash with that demon glow.

Contracts inked in a crooked hand,

Every step forward sinks in sand.

Two-step tango with a grin so wild,

Devil in the corner, eyes beguile.

808s hit, the ground starts to rumble,

Soul in my pocket, the dance gets humble.
