[Verse 1]

I've been away for a while 'cause shit weren't sweet like Tate and Lyle

I held it together with the fakest smile

But they rate my style, when men that I thought were tight moved on

I couldn't give them what they want

With a heart compiled of hatred, how the fuck can you be my dog?

Left alive and lost in the ice and frost, too many of my wires got crossed

Then I fell into my comfort zone, smoking trees that literally looked like logs

When the fans ask 'Where's Devs gone?'

Taking a slut to a fancy restaurant

When I should have been headstrong

To then feel stepped on, life's harsh


[Bridge 1]

What you think you're doing?

Running around like some idiot

Need to start focusing, you've been wasting time


[Hook]

The devil inside of me

The side you just don't see

I've been fighting, who? Me

It felt like amazing grace

I was blind, now I see


[Verse 2]

Wanna know where I've been? Me too

It's a blur of booze and birds

Wake up with a hand all bruised and I ain't got a clue what occurred

I've been the prick too long, going on like I don't care about the career I tailored

From the stone and bricks in Satan's lair

But life will take you there when you get robbed of a relative

And when I drive by your old flat, I blow a kiss and reminisce

I can't write inside this pad, I'm more pissed than I've ever been

So I try to escape this curse, tryna run from the devil in


[Bridge 2]

Come on brother

You made this man

I think the game needs this bruv

This is all you fucking know

Need to get up man


[Hook]

The devil inside of me

The side you just don't see

I've been fighting, who? Me

It felt like amazing grace

I was blind, now I see


[Verse 3]

I wake up on the sofa with a sore head in my friends house

No cash in my wallet, I know that I'm back in the ends now

Factories, flats and vomit

Every house looks run down

Screw-face and I'm on it, I ain't hard like onyx

But lost it, where's the anti-psychotics?

I'm falling apart but the streets ask

When's the album dropping?

When this writers' block subsides and I feel like writing again about topics

Until then I just crawl inside my shell and it feels so horrid


[Hook]

The devil inside of me

The side you just don't see

I said I've been fighting, who? Me

It felt like amazing grace

I was blind, now I see, now I see
