Little Devil

Verse 1
Something’s breathing in my bedroom,
But I sleep here all alone.
There are tiny bloody footprints
Leading straight towards my phone.
At 3 AM, I hear her humming,
Like a lullaby I knew.
Then a little voice beside me whispers,

“I’ve been waiting here for you.”

Verse 1.2
The hallway starts to lengthen,
Every door is painted black.
I try to run toward the daylight,
But the house keeps pulling back.
There’s a girl beneath the staircase
With her fingers on her knees.
She looks exactly like me…
But she’s older than I’ll ever be.

Pre-Chorus
I hear scratching in the walls,
I hear footsteps down the hall.
Then a voice behind my shoulder says,

“You never left at all.”

Chorus
Oh, Little Devil, crawling through my dreams,
Smiling with a mouth full of broken teeth.
Little Devil, whispering my name,
Every time I close my eyes,
I wake up in the same place.
Oh, Little Devil, underneath my bed,
Counting every heartbeat till I’m finally dead.
Little Devil, tell me what you want—
She just smiles and whispers,

“I want what you’ve become.”

Verse 2
Il y a une empreinte de main sur ma fenêtre, De l'autre côté de la vitre. Mais ma chambre est au septième étage, Et quelque chose me fixe en retour. Je recouvre le miroir, Mais je vois encore son visage. Elle se tient dans le reflet, Alors que j'ai déjà quitté les lieux.

Ma mère dit que je rêve, Mon père dit que tout va bien. Mais aucun des deux ne peut me dire Pourquoi leurs yeux sont noirs ce soir. Ils sont assis près de mon lit, Se tenant la main sous le drap. Puis ils se mettent à chuchoter tous les deux,
“She was hungry… now she eats.”

Pre-Chorus
I hear scratching in the walls,
I hear footsteps down the hall.
Then a voice behind my shoulder says,

“You never left at all.”

Chorus
Oh, Little Devil, crawling through my dreams,
Smiling with a mouth full of broken teeth.
Little Devil, whispering my name,
Every time I close my eyes,
I wake up in the same place.
Oh, Little Devil, underneath my bed,
Counting every heartbeat till I’m finally dead.
Little Devil, tell me what you want—
She just smiles and whispers,

“I want what you’ve become.”

Breakdown
(And suddenly I understand…)
(The footsteps weren’t behind me.)
(The breathing wasn’t in the room.)
(The scratches weren’t on the walls.)
(They were coming from inside me.)

Final Chorus
Oh, Little Devil, now I see your face,
You were never underneath my bed—
You were inside this place.
Little Devil, wearing my skin,
Every time I look in the mirror,
You’re the one looking in.
Oh, Little Devil, take my hand tonight,
Lead me through the darkness where the dead refuse the light.
Little Devil, I finally know your name…
