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.

[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...
