I Heard the Devil Say My Name - Quiet Company

Call it what you want

Is it a golden age, or just everybody seeing what they want?

Oh, it’s hard to say

Yeah I was thinking maybe I was born to be a smaller flame

Might light the path of fewer men but keeps the fear at bay

Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid

I once had my hands on a heart that beat

With every breath I’d breathe, so consistently

Now I have got my hands on a heart that bleeds

I got a heart that leaks, so uncontrollably

I know you’re probably tired of all the jokes I tell

I know you’ve heard 'em all a million times, and they don’t age well

If you wanna know the truth, sometimes I tire of them myself

If you wanna know the truth, I fear I dried the well when I could not be

someone else

And now to pay for all my sins, I’ll never make you laugh again

I’m begging you to know me, I’m begging you to figure me out

Are you brave enough to love me?

Are you smart enough to have your doubts?

I’m begging you to know me, but I’m always wishing I was someone else

Can you make an honest man of the kind of liar that deludes himself?

I’m begging you to know me, I’m begging you to figure me out

And when the panic motivates me, are you strong enough to hold me down?

Are you strong enough to hold me down?

Because I heard the devil say my name out loud

And now he’s never gonna let me out
