Spit the Devil Out

Verse 1 I came in shaking like a house in a storm, Candles crying, Bible pages torn. Something old had its hands on my throat, Wearing my voice like a dirty coat. I heard it laughing from the pit of my chest, Said, “You’ll never heal, you’ll never rest.” But I was tired of being haunted inside, So I opened my mouth and let the darkness rise. Pre-Chorus Hands on the floor, knees on the ground, All my buried screams came clawing out. I didn’t look holy, I didn’t look clean, But I was becoming something free. Chorus I vomited my demons out, Spit the devil from my mouth. Black smoke, old pain, poison in the sink, Everything I swallowed finally learned to leave. I screamed till the walls came down, Shook till the curse burned out. Call it madness, call it prayer, call it breaking through — I vomited my demons out And I came back new. Verse 2 They wore the faces of the ones I forgave, They knew my secrets, they knew my shame. One was grief with a serpent tongue, One was fear dressed up as love. One said, “You’re broken beyond repair,” One said, “No one will meet you there.” But I saw heaven in the bathroom light, And I chose my soul in the middle of the fight. Pre-Chorus Salt on my lips, sweat on my skin, I felt God walking where hell had been. I didn’t look pretty, I didn’t look sane, But I was baptized in my own pain. Chorus I vomited my demons out, Spit the devil from my mouth. Black smoke, old pain, poison in the sink, Everything I swallowed finally learned to leave. I screamed till the walls came down, Shook till the curse burned out. Call it madness, call it prayer, call it breaking through — I vomited my demons out And I came back new. Bridge Get out of my blood, get out of my bones, Get out of the house I built from stones. Get out of my dreams, get out of my name, I’m not your altar, I’m not your grave. Get out of my mother’s voice in my head, Get out of the prayers I thought were dead. Get out of my body, get out of my bed, I choose resurrection over rot instead. Breakdown / Chant Out, out, out — I cast you down. Out, out, out — no crown, no crown. Out, out, out — you don’t own me now. I spit you out. I spit you out. Final Chorus I vomited my demons out, Spit the devil from my mouth. Black smoke, old pain, poison in the sink, Everything I swallowed finally learned to leave. I crawled through the fire, but I wear the crown, Buried the curse in the cold, hard ground. Call it madness, call it mercy, call it overdue — I vomited my demons out And I came back new. Outro There’s blood on the tile, But light in the room. I emptied the grave They mistook for my womb. I am not possessed, I am not afraid. I was never the demon — I was the cage.
