THE DEVIL KNOWS MY NAME

I used to pray for a way out...

Now I pray for a reason to stay.

Funny how the darkness feels like home

When the light keeps turning away.

I've been the villain in somebody's story,

The disappointment in somebody's eyes.

Built a kingdom out of broken promises,

Then watched it burn a thousand times.

I've worn regret like a second skin,

Let everybody's judgment in.

But somewhere underneath these scars,

There's still a pulse inside this heart!

I'M NOT THE MAN I USED TO BE!

BUT I'M NOT WHO YOU WANTED ME TO BE!

The devil knows my name!

He's watched me dancing in the flames!

I've been to hell and back again,

Lost myself, buried my friends!

But I won't die inside this cage!

I'm more than every past mistake!

Let heaven turn its face away—

THE DEVIL KNOWS MY NAME!

Yeah!

Another day, another scar, another war inside my head,

Another conversation with the ghosts beneath my bed.

Everybody wants a piece, nobody wants the pain,

Everybody loves the sunshine, nobody loves the rain!

I've been the father, been the failure,

Been the one who couldn't breathe.

Been the man who held it together

While the world fell underneath!

You can judge me by my history,

You can carve it on my grave,

But you don't get to write the ending

OF THE LIFE I CAME TO SAVE!

The devil knows my name!

He's watched me dancing in the flames!

I've been to hell and back again,

Lost myself, buried my friends!

But I won't die inside this cage!

I'm more than every past mistake!

Let heaven turn its face away—

THE DEVIL KNOWS MY NAME!

If my father could see me now,

Would he recognize his son?

Would he tell me to keep fighting

When I've forgotten how to run?

I hear his voice inside the silence,

"Son, you've still got hell to raise."

So I'll carry what he taught me

Through another goddamn day.

YOU THOUGHT THE DARKNESS

WOULD BE THE DEATH OF ME?!

I MADE A HOME INSIDE THE ABYSS!

AND NOW THE ABYSS—

ANSWERS TO ME!

BLEGH!

DUH-DUH-DUH—DUH!

BREAK MY BONES!

BLACK MY SOUL!

YOU'LL NEVER TAKE

WHAT I STILL HOLD!

THE DEVIL KNOWS MY NAME!

BUT HE DOESN'T OWN MY FATE!

I've been to hell and back again,

And I'll keep fighting till the end!

I'm not the sum of my mistakes!

I'm every battle that I faced!

Let heaven hear me scream today—

THE DEVIL KNOWS MY NAME!

He knows my name...

But he doesn't get to write my ending.
