[Verse] I met a shadow near the hill so steep It spoke in whispers that made my pulse leap No horns no fire just the weight of the stare A deal in the wind like a ghost in the air [Verse 2] Lay down your dreams it cooed so low Trade me your heart for the things you'll know No paper no pen just a nod or a tap The price is your soul for the choices unwrapped [Chorus] Talking to the devil's not flames or a roar It's an echo that lives in the cracks of the floor It's the breath in the night that freezes your chest A hollowed-out promise wrapped up like a jest [Verse 3] We sat in silence as time stood still The stars faintly blinked over the worn-out hill It laughed like a sigh and it felt so strange A quiet kind of pull in the soundless exchange [Bridge] What’s a wish worth in a life so brief When the beating of the heart is lined with grief Would you gamble the hours for a fleeting kiss Or deny the temptation of a stirred abyss [Chorus] Talking to the devil's not flames or a roar It's an echo that lives in the cracks of the floor It's the breath in the night that freezes your chest A hollowed-out promise wrapped up like a jest
