dangers - softer science lyrics

blissfully, (she) sings to me: “it’s the devil that i love.”
three a.m.’s back again and the girls are fast asleep, tucked into their beds up above
down below, i have nowhere else left to go
six grey hairs and the fangs of another night playing uncle in this home
what i fear—what i know—is that these girls will never know
all their prayers on their knees won’t stop men just like me from preying, male gazing, drink-lacing—from turning coddled lives to living h-ll

oh, young american girls in young american rooms with young american dreams in young american wombs
no matter how much you pray, no matter how much you hide, there’s a dorm, there’s a church full of american boys drunk on american thighs singing: if it’s the devil that’s in me, then it’s the devil i love

cross my heart and hope to die
if it’s the devil in me, then it’s the devil i love
one below, and nothing up above

three a.m.’s back again
i’m dialing digits on my phone
’cause it’s true: even men just like me, raised properly, respectfully, have something hiding, something fighting to drag us all below
it’s the devil i love
devil that i love
