The Devil Knows
Key: Song Title song lyrics
"When You're Going Through Hell" by Rodney Atkins
Well, you know those times when you feel like
There's a sign there on your back.
Says: "I don't mind if you kick me;
"Seems like everybody has."
Things go from bad to worse:
You think they can't get worse than that an' then they do.
Troy sat in his room, crystalline eyes closed in thought. He shook his head, ridding his mind
of the remnants of his daydream. This could only get worse.
You step off the straight an' narrow,
An' you don't know where you are.
Use the needle of your compass,
To sew up your broken heart.
Ask directions from a genie,
In a bottle of Jim Beam an' she lies to you.
Well, that's when you learn the truth:
Ryan's cobalt blue eyes haunted him at night. Those beautiful eyes. Troy shook his head. This wasn't right. Thinking of Ryan like this wasn't right.
If you're goin' through hell,
Keep on goin'.
Don't slow down:
If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
Ryan was the devil to him these days. A blonde-haired, blue-eyed, beautiful devil. Wait, beautiful?
Well, I've been deep down in that darkness,
I been down to my last match.
Felt a hundred different demons,
Breathin' fire down my back.
An' I knew that if I stumbled,
I'd fall right into the trap that they were layin'.
But the good news is there's angels,
Everywhere out on the street.
Holdin' out a hand,
To pull you back up on your feet:
The one's that you been draggin' so long,
You're on your knees; you might as well be prayin'.
Yes, Ryan Evans was beautiful. A devil to Troy's mind, but an angel at the same time. It was all so confusing.
Guess what I'm sayin':
If you're goin' through hell,
Keep on goin'.
Don't slow down:
If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
It was almost random to Troy,that he should fall in love with Ryan Evans, of all people.
Yeah, if you're goin' through hell,
Keep on movin'.
Face that fire:
Walk right through it.
You might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
Troy bit his bottom lip. An image, a leftover scrap of his dream. Ryan's lips against his.
If you're goin' through hell,
Keep on goin'.
Don't slow down:
If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
Yeah, if you're goin' through hell,
Those lips again, the next day. But this time, it was no dream.
Keep on movin'.
Face that fire:
Walk right through it.
You might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
Yeah, you might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
"I love you, Troy." Troy blushed. "I love you, too, my angelic devil."
