Inside the song
Behind the signal.
A narrator keeps returning to a familiar darkness after love has gone. Fire, ash, ghosts, and a trembling hallway light give this drum-and-bass remix its haunted emotional center.

Read the lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your shadow keeps my side of the bed
Your name still burns behind my teeth
I wear the face of someone living
While something dead walks underneath
I told the night I didn't need you
The night just smiled and called my bluff
I can make a weapon out of silence
But I can't make silence hurt enough
[Pre-Chorus]
If love was holy, why'd it stain me?
If you were mercy, why'd you go?
I keep running from the memory
Straight into the devil I know
[Chorus]
I'M STILL CALLING THROUGH THE FIRE
WITH YOUR ASHES IN MY THROAT
I KEEP CLIMBING TOWARD THE LIGHT
THEN I CHOOSE THE DARK BELOW
YOU WERE HEAVEN FOR A MOMENT
NOW YOU HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
I WOULD RATHER HURT BESIDE YOU
THAN HEAL WITH THE DEVIL I KNOW
[Post-Chorus]
The devil I know
The devil I chose
You left me your darkness
And called it my soul
[Verse 2]
I leave the door unlocked at midnight
Like trouble might remember me
I hear your footsteps in the hallway
Then grin at what I want to see
You taught my heart to hide a razor
You taught my hands to hold the blame
Now every stranger gets your mercy
And every mirror gets your name
[Pre-Chorus]
If love was holy, why'd it break me?
If I was yours, why'd you let go?
I keep crawling from the memory
Back to the devil I know
[Chorus]
I'M STILL CALLING THROUGH THE FIRE
WITH YOUR ASHES IN MY THROAT
I KEEP CLIMBING TOWARD THE LIGHT
THEN I CHOOSE THE DARK BELOW
YOU WERE HEAVEN FOR A MOMENT
NOW YOU HAUNT ME LIKE A GHOST
I WOULD RATHER HURT BESIDE YOU
THAN HEAL WITH THE DEVIL I KNOW
[Bridge]
Maybe I don't want forgiveness
Maybe peace would prove you're gone
Maybe pain's the final place
Where you and I still carry on
Tell me—
Did you ever hear me breaking?
Did you turn away that slow?
Did you love me for a lifetime
Or just long enough to know
Exactly where to cut me?
I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING!
EVERY SIN, EVERY SCAR!
YOU LEFT ME BEGGING THE DARKNESS
TO TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE!
I DON'T WANT YOUR FORGIVENESS!
I WANT THE BLOOD AND THE TRUTH!
I WANT THE GIRL I WAS BEFORE YOU—
BUT SHE DIED LOVING YOU!
I'M STILL CALLING THROUGH THE FIRE
TILL THERE'S NOTHING IN MY THROAT
I KEEP REACHING FOR YOUR HEAVEN
WITH BOTH HANDS AROUND YOUR GHOST
YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL AND VICIOUS
YOU WERE ALL I WANTED MOST
I WOULD RATHER DIE BESIDE YOU
THAN LIVE WITH THE DEVIL I KNOW
[Outro]
So leave the hallway light on
Let it tremble, let it glow
I'll be waiting in the darkness
With the devil I know
The devil I know...
Keep listening.
