lyrics

Don’t run
When the devil comes
Don’t run
When the devil comes

Well, the streets
Are on fire with passion
And the streets
Are on fire with need
And the streets
Are on fire like a funeral pyre
Till the whole damn world
Takes heed

I don’t know
Your situation
But I’ll tell you
What I feel
You don’t run
When the devil comes
Cuz this is how
We heal

Don’t run
When the devil comes
Don’t run
When the devil comes

Sometimes it comes
In armor
Sometimes it comes
With shields
But armor and shields
When they get set down
Are the heart
Of what will be

We all got
Two sets of eyes
Eyes of love
And ones of fear
There ain’t no love
In the devil’s eyes
On that
Let’s just be clear

But if we love
One another
We will see it
In our eyes
That’s how we save
Each other, bae
Won’t the devil
Be surprised

Don’t run
When the devil comes
Don’t run
When the devil comes

The devil hates
When we don’t run
The devil hates
When we have fun
The devil hates it
That we won
Fuck that devil
Fuck that devil

Don’t run
When the devil comes
Don’t run
When the devil comes
