Little Devil On My Back

[Verse 1]
Little devil on my back
Used to pull my head down
Whisper every worst case
Turn a bruise to a breakdown
You fed off the fear in my chest
Off the doubt in my breath, every step, every test
You were loud in the night, like a siren
But I learned how to move in the silence
[Chorus]
Little devil on my back, you don’t scare me
You been talkin’ but you never really dared me
I am more powerful than you are (than you are)
My pain is not for you
I stand stronger every scar that you tear me
You can claw but you never really wear me
I am more powerful than you are (than you are)
My pain is not for you
[Verse 2]
You said I’d break if I try
Said I’d choke if I speak, so I spoke more
You said I’m stuck in the fire
So I walked through, feet on the hot floor
You hate how I rise when I’m cracked
How I turn every cut to a map
You still ride my spine, yeah, you cling
But I’m the one pullin’ the strings
[Chorus]
Little devil on my back, you don’t scare me
You been talkin’ but you never really dared me
I am more powerful than you are (than you are)
My pain is not for you
I stand stronger every scar that you tear me
You can claw but you never really wear me
I am more powerful than you are (than you are)
My pain is not for you
