Verse 1:
They say the past is buried, but it’s rising from the ground,
Familiar faces haunt me, in this quiet town.
I’ve fought the wars, I’ve played the game,
But somehow, they always feel the same.
(Pause)
History repeats, it’s a vicious cycle,
No matter how far I run, it’s all so tribal.
Same mistakes, different day,
Same devils, just new names to play.

Pre-Chorus:
I thought I could change, rewrite the end,
But the demons circle back again.
No matter how far I push or fight,
The darkness always finds the light.

Chorus:
It’s the same old devils, knocking on my door,
No matter how I lock it, they come back for more.
In the shadows, they wait, in the corners, they creep,
They whisper my name when I’m trying to sleep.
Same old devils, the ones I know too well,
Dragging me back into this hell.
But I’m still standing, though they pull me down,
Same old devils, but I’m not turning around.

Verse 2:
I’ve seen the faces change, but the story stays the same,
New lies, old tricks, different names to blame.
It’s a dance we’ve done, time and time again,
Chasing freedom but wearing the same chains.
(Pause)
Politicians lie, people lose their way,
We’re caught in a loop, every damn day.
But I’ve got scars to prove I’ve survived the fight,
These devils don’t know, I’ve still got my light.

Pre-Chorus:
I’ve been down this road, but I’ve learned the cost,
How to find myself, even when I’m lost.
They can try to break me, I won’t fall,
I’ve been through it all, I’ve seen it all.

Chorus:
It’s the same old devils, knocking on my door,
No matter how I lock it, they come back for more.
In the shadows, they wait, in the corners, they creep,
They whisper my name when I’m trying to sleep.
Same old devils, the ones I know too well,
Dragging me back into this hell.
But I’m still standing, though they pull me down,
Same old devils, but I’m not turning around.

Bridge:
(Reflective, lower tone)
Maybe we’re all just ghosts of who we were,
Lost in a world where the lines are blurred.
But I’ve learned to fight, I’ve learned to stand,
I won’t let these devils take my hand.
(Build up)
So bring the fire, bring the storm,
I’ve been through worse, I’ve been reborn.

Chorus:
It’s the same old devils, knocking on my door,
No matter how I lock it, they come back for more.
In the shadows, they wait, in the corners, they creep,
They whisper my name when I’m trying to sleep.
Same old devils, the ones I know too well,
Dragging me back into this hell.
But I’m still standing, though they pull me down,
Same old devils, but I’m not turning around.

Outro:
(Soft, defiant)
Same old devils, but they won’t win this time,
I’m still standing, I’m drawing the line.
