"Devil In Me" lyrics

"Devil In Me"

You come from memories, old battlefields, my history
I conquered everyone and everything to get here
I shine my armor, keep a sharpened sword for fending you off
For years but here we go again
Through all my strategies, the nights I had to spend alone
You blew my mind and didn't mind to undermine me
My friends keep telling me to kill you, should've written you off
That you don't really miss me

Fuck you, I'm a Joan of Arc without a cause
But your eyes burn a hole through the thickest of walls
This is how empires fall

When the devil in me loves the devil in you
We have a whole lotta loving to do
Do what you want to me
I set you free
When the devil in you loves the devil in me
We have a whole lotta loving to do
Angels sing quietly
Feels like I've got
The devil in me

I kept a storm at bay, divided, walked an ocean floor
I cracked a mountain, built a hideaway with curtains
I ran a marathon in high heels more than you've ever done, for fun
Of this, I'm rather certain

That's right, I'm a Joan of Arc but I want more
I'll go back, say goodbye then I'll open the door
This is how empires fall

When the devil in me loves the devil in you
We have a whole lotta loving to do
Do what you want to me
I set you free
When the devil in you loves the devil in me
We have a whole lotta loving to do
Do what you want to me
I set you free
Angels sing quietly
Feels like I've got
The devil in me

It took a little time, a moment just to figure it out
So here's my answer to the question if there's ever a doubt
Nothing matters in the moment, what am I supposed to do
When confronted with you?

When the devil in me loves the devil in you
We have a whole lotta loving to do
Do what you want to me
I set you free
When the devil in you loves the devil in me
We have a whole lotta loving to do
Do what you want to me
I set you free
Angels sing quietly
Feels like I've got
The devil in me
