Devil's Receipt

Lyrics

Verse 1
I woke up hollow
Found the note on the floor
Signed my name in red
Then I asked for more

Cold coin in my palm
Black ring on my tongue
I laughed in the mirror
Now the joke ain't fun

He said, "What you got?"
I said, "Take it all"
Now my chest is quiet
When the church bells call

Pre-Chorus
I tried to pray
It hit the wall
I heard him grin
From down the hall

No light in me
Just a burned-out spark
Standing here smiling
With a hole in my heart

Chorus
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
Now I can't feel a thing

I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
And I wear that chain

Verse 2
Mama said, "Baby
Don't trade your name"
But I wanted fast hands
And a meaner game

Now the kitchen table
Looks like a crime
Three missed calls on Sunday
And a face in grime

Every room I enter
Turns the air to rust
Every dream I chase
Turns to dust

He keeps my shadow
On a tighter leash
And I hear that bargain
Every time I sleep

Pre-Chorus
I tried to pray
It hit the wall
I heard him grin
From down the hall

No light in me
Just a burned-out spark
Standing here smiling
With a hole in my heart

Chorus
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
Now I can't feel a thing

I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
And I wear that chain

Bridge
If you see me kneeling
Don't call it grace
I'm just counting losses
On a dead man's face

Took my heaven
Left the rain
Still got my body
But he keeps the name

Final Chorus
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
Now I can't feel a thing

I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
And I wear that chain

I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
I sold it to the devil
And it knows my name
