Lyrics I Heard the Devil Say My Name - Quiet Company

I Heard the Devil Say My Name

Call it what you want
Is it a golden age, or just everybody seeing what they want?
Oh, it’s hard to say
Yeah I was thinking maybe I was born to be a smaller flame
Might light the path of fewer men but keeps the fear at bay
Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid
I once had my hands on a heart that beat
With every breath I’d breathe, so consistently
Now I have got my hands on a heart that bleeds
I got a heart that leaks, so uncontrollably
I know you’re probably tired of all the jokes I tell
I know you’ve heard 'em all a million times, and they don’t age well
If you wanna know the truth, sometimes I tire of them myself
If you wanna know the truth, I fear I dried the well when I could not be
someone else
And now to pay for all my sins, I’ll never make you laugh again
I’m begging you to know me, I’m begging you to figure me out
Are you brave enough to love me?
Are you smart enough to have your doubts?
I’m begging you to know me, but I’m always wishing I was someone else
Can you make an honest man of the kind of liar that deludes himself?
I’m begging you to know me, I’m begging you to figure me out
And when the panic motivates me, are you strong enough to hold me down?
Are you strong enough to hold me down?
Because I heard the devil say my name out loud
And now he’s never gonna let me out
