I Met The Devil Lyrics

I met the devil

I met the devil

I kissed his cheek on my bathroom floor

And asked if he could make me small again

He said my child

He said my child

I could scrub you clean of this life

Your skin would still feel like a dirty word

I said

You were the prodigal child

You know how it feels to fall

Someone stole my pride

So they could feel ten feet tall

So give me this, give me this, give me this, give me this, give me this

I can't be here, I can't breathe here any more

He looks at me

He looks at me

And asks my dear, what makes you fear

The ache of life that lives inside your bones

I tell him no

I tell him no

I will not confess and crack open my chest

Just so you can see what makes me run

He said

I'd have to bring you deep down, deep down into the grime

It's gonna hurt down in the dirt, but smallness has a price

So give me one, give me one, give me one, give me one, give me one

Reason I should ease your ache

I tell him slow

I tell him slow

I loved someone with all I had

I loved someone with all I had

I loved someone with all I had

But they broke something in me that I can't fix

He grins at me

He grins at me

He grins at me

He grins at me

He grins at me

And says, oh, my child you must be blind

For that's the smallest one can be
