The devil don’t dance here anymore
By Tom Elliott

[Verse 1]
I wear my regret like a velvet glove,
Sipped bad choices from a crystal cup.
Every kiss was a loaded gun,
Every lie a song I couldn’t shush up.

[Pre-Chorus]
Tore my heart from its velvet chest,
Hung it high like a warning sign.
I danced with shadows, begged for rest,
But the devil’s rhythm ain’t mine.

[Chorus]
Now I’m burning brighter than the sins I wore,
Kicking down the doors I used to adore.
He whispered low, but I roared back loud—
He don’t dance here no more.
I’m chasing dawn, not drowning in lore,
Found my pulse on the shattered floor.
This soul’s got swing, this heart’s got roar—
The Devil, he don’t dance here no more.

[Verse 2]
I burn my past like a cigarette,
Watched it curl in smoky blues.
Played my pain on a broken fret,
Till I found my own damn groove.

[Bridge]
I ain’t no ones victim, I ain’t a ghost,
I’m that fire that haunts the coast.
I’m the brass in the midnight band,
The phoenix with a mic in hand.

[Final Chorus]
Now I’m burning brighter than the sins I wore,
Kicking down the doors I used to adore.
He whispered low, but I roared back loud—
Devil don’t dance here no more.
I’m chasing dawn, not drowning in lore,
Found my pulse on the shattered floor.
This soul’s got swing, this heart’s got roar—
Devil don’t dance here no more.
