[Verse 1] I keep a candle in the window I keep a shadow by the bed One tells me I should know better One says, “Come closer instead” I wore white on Sunday morning I wore red by Friday night I keep asking for forgiveness From the parts of me I hide [Pre-Chorus] There’s a choir in my conscience There’s a drum beneath my skin And I don’t know which one’s holy When they both invite me in [Chorus] Angels and devils They all know my name One hand on the Bible One hand in the flame Angels and devils Fighting in my room One says I’m a woman One says I’m a wound And I’m tired of choosing Who I’m supposed to be When the angels and devils All sound like me [Verse 2] I’ve been judged by men in doorways I’ve been blessed by mouths that lied I’ve been called a fallen woman By the ones who pushed me high So I stopped looking toward the ceiling For a verdict in the air If heaven wants to find me It can meet me on the stairs [Pre-Chorus] There’s a whisper in the mirror There’s a warning in my blood And I don’t know if I’m sinking Or just learning how to love [Chorus] Angels and devils They all know my name One hand on the Bible One hand in the flame Angels and devils Fighting in my room One says I’m a woman One says I’m a wound And I’m tired of choosing Who I’m supposed to be When the angels and devils All sound like me [Bridge] Maybe mercy has a body Maybe sin can tell the truth Maybe every stained-glass story Leaves a bruise on every youth I am not your guilty daughter I am not your holy sign I am flesh and fear and hunger I am trouble I am mine [Guitar break] [Final Chorus] Angels and devils They all know my name One hand on the Bible One hand in the flame Angels and devils Dancing in my room One says I’m forgiven One says I’m doomed But I’m done with the courtroom I’m done on my knees If the angels and devils All sound like me Then the angels and devils Can answer to me [Outro] I keep a candle in the window I keep a shadow by the bed One says, “Baby, you are holy” One says, “Not finished yet”
