Got a wildfire underneath my ribs, a little monster that I live with. He’s not my enemy, not my sin, just the part of me I walk in. People keep saying “stay in the light,” but they don’t see me in the night. I’m made of shadows and burning bright, yeah, both of them keep me alive. (Pre-Chorus) And I thought I knew the ones who say they know me best, but if they looked inside my head, would they even recognize the mess? (Chorus) ’Cause there’s a devil in my skin, and I’m finally letting him in. He reminds me I’m allowed to put myself first now and then. No one really knows me whole, and that’s just the way it goes. I’m not broken, I’m not giving in, I’m just dancing with the devil in my skin. Fire in me ,keep burning ! With the fire in our chest! With the devil in our skin! No fear! No fall! Devil in my skin! Rise again! Burning bright! (Verse 2) I used to bleed for everybody else, set myself on fire just to help. But I’ve learned saving my own breath is sometimes how I save myself. I keep my silence like a secret code, smile like I’m never losing hope. But no one sees what I don’t show, the battles happening below. We all wear armor made of lies, hiding every compromise. But the ones who really care won’t fear the dark behind my eyes. ’Cause there’s a devil in my skin, and I’m finally letting him in. He reminds me I’m allowed to put myself first now and then. No one really knows me whole, and that’s just the way it goes. I’m not broken, I’m not giving in, I’m just dancing with the devil in my skin. ’Cause there’s a devil in my skin, and I’m finally letting him in. He reminds me I’m allowed to put myself first now and then. No one really knows me whole, and that’s just the way it goes. I’m not broken, I’m not giving in, I’m just dancing with the devil in my skin. 🎶 When I’m falling through the night, he’s the spark that keeps me fighting. Not an angel, not a saint, but the truth inside the silence. So let the devil in my skin be the reason I begin to choose my heart before I break, to take my place, to own my flame. No one really knows me whole, and I don’t need them to anymore. I’m standing strong in who I’ve been, yeah, I’m rising with the devil in my skin.
