Cell with Horns

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They put me in a box with a name tag Cold paint, gray walls, and a dead fly My cot squeaks like a lie in the dark I count the cracks just to kill time Three steps left, three steps right Same stare from the vent all night Then the shadow in the corner blinked And I knew that thing knew my life [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Boy, you smell that fear?” (You smell that fear) He said, “I been waitin’ in here” (I been waitin’ in here) The light went thin, the air went red My pulse hit hard in my own head [Chorus] Devil in my cell Devil in my cell He know me too well He know me too well Devil in my cell Devil in my cell Locked up, heaven fell Locked up, heaven fell [Verse 2] He sat on the bunk like he owned the chain Smiled with a mouth full of broken rain Said, “You came in here already lost” Then laughed when I asked what the price would cost I said, “I’m not yours, I’m not done yet” He said, “Everybody pays that debt” Then the radio hissed through the night And I heard my own name back in the static [Pre-Chorus] He said, “Boy, you smell that fear?” (You smell that fear) He said, “I been waitin’ in here” (I been waitin’ in here) The lock clicked once, the floor went cold He leaned in close and took my soul [Chorus] Devil in my cell Devil in my cell He know me too well He know me too well Devil in my cell Devil in my cell Locked up, heaven fell Locked up, heaven fell [Bridge] I bit my tongue, I stayed still Prayed to a God past the metal grill He laughed and said, “You hear that gate?” “That’s the sound of your own fate” Then the lights cut out in a hard black wave And the whole room shook like an open grave [Chorus] Devil in my cell Devil in my cell He know me too well He know me too well Devil in my cell Devil in my cell Locked up, heaven fell Locked up, heaven fell
