Deal with the devil you know
Take it slow, he might show up
You might lose him when you grow up
You might blow up, you might pop
None of that's a good reason to stop
I can still hear it
"You're so ambitious," she spit at me like a curse
What made it worse is that she was right
I looked in the mirror that night and saw what she saw
A dreamer clenching her jaw
Soon to be a dying violet between the noise and silence
Accusing every co-pilot willing to step up to the plate
Of throwing me off my game, headed for a crash landing
With little to no understanding of what I was taking on
The goal posts always move, no one's honest with you
And the point you're trying to prove is lost
Your life is recovery or shooting the moon
You're hovering over the room, people muttering, talking 'bout you
And you're still not doing what you know you could do
I still want it, what's my problem?
Deal with the devil you know
Take it slow, he might show up
You might lose him when you grow up
You might blow up, you might pop
None of that's a good reason to stop
Always been hot for teacher
Keep getting older and they do too
A little information right out of my grasp
Better answers to the questions I'm afraid to ask
Kissing on a curve (Open-mouth education)
Building my nerve (Testing my patience)
Did I make the most of what I'm made of?
Did I face what I'm afraid of?
Am I a little close to the truth?
Keeps getting harder, I do too
I wanna be a livewire
Don't wanna steal, don't wanna get tired
Don't wanna be a slot machine
Don't wanna miss the mark
I wanna be the weak spot
Between the eyes of a shark
Deal with the devil you know
Take it slow, he might show up
You might lose him when you grow up
You might blow up, you might pop
None of that's a good reason to stop
You can't chase the ghost
You find him more than most
I don't care how old your soul is
It's just focus and preparation
It takes failure, it takes patience
To deal with the devil you know
Deal with the devil you know
Take it slow, he might show up
You might lose him when you grow up
You might blow up, you might pop
None of that's a good reason to stop
It's not over
You're not done
You're not nothing
And you're not the only one
