I’ve been wrestling with the truth like it owes me something,
Trying to outrun all the trouble I’ve become.
Every step I take echoes like a warning—
Yeah, the night don’t care where I’m running from.
I keep talking like I’ve got my act together,
But the cracks show quick in the neon weather.
Still, I move with a little bit of pride,
’Cause you can only break me if I let you inside.

And I don’t wanna fake it anymore—
I’m done hiding behind that crooked door.

I’m the devil you know,
Not the one you fear in the dark.
Got a crooked halo
But a fire lighting up my heart.
Yeah, I bend, yeah, I bruise,
But I don’t fall apart.
I’m the devil you know—
And I’m tougher than I start.

I’ve been dancing with the doubt that I can’t quite shake,
Letting every little flaw call the shots I take.
But you can’t dim a spark when it’s born in the fight—
I glow brighter when I’m being pushed by the night.
Got a temper that I’m learning how to tame,
Got a past I don’t hide and I’m not ashamed.
If you’re looking for a clean-cut saint—
Baby, look again, ’cause I ain’t.

And I’m done pretending I’m something new—
I shine best when I own the truth.

I’m the devil you know,
Not the one you fear in the dark.
Got a crooked halo
But a fire lighting up my heart.
Yeah, I bend, yeah, I bruise,
But I don’t fall apart.
I’m the devil you know—
And I’m tougher than I start.

Maybe I’m jagged, maybe I’m rough,
But I’ve learned how to rise when the world gets tough.
You don’t have to love the way I heal—
But baby, everything you see is real.

I’m the devil you know,
Not the ghost you’re scared to let in.
Got a crooked halo
But I’m proud of every place I’ve been.
Yeah, I bend, yeah, I bruise,
But I rise again with heart.
I’m the devil you know—
And I’ve owned it from the start.

Devil you know…
Still burning in the dark.
