[Verse 1]
The floor was sticky with names nobody remembers
A dog was sleeping next to a man who used to be someone
Behind the counter lay a photograph with burned edges
A child smiling beside a father who never came back

I tasted metal in the air
Like something had died quietly
No music, no laughter
Just the sound of breathing that didn’t feel alive

[Pre Chorus]
The walls were listening
And they didn’t blink

[Chorus]
The devil closed the bar early
Said the house had nothing left to lose
He counted my sins like loose change
And threw them back in my face
The night didn’t want me anymore
The dark refused to stay
The devil closed the bar early
And even hell walked away

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
A woman carved lines into the table with her nails
Each one a year she never escaped
Somebody cried in the bathroom
But stopped when he heard footsteps
Truth was sitting in the corner
Drinking alone and staring at me

I tried to speak
But my voice felt borrowed
Like it belonged to someone who died before me

(Stay quiet)
(They can hear you)

[Pre Chorus]
The door weighed more than guilt
And guilt weighed more than God

[Chorus]
The devil closed the bar early
Said the house had nothing left to lose
He counted my sins like loose change
And threw them back in my face
The night didn’t want me anymore
The dark refused to stay
The devil closed the bar early
And even hell walked away

[Bridge]
I saw my name carved into a chair
Next to names that never made it out
Someone had written beneath it
“He thought he was different”

I laughed so hard it hurt
Because it was almost true

(You knew better)
(You knew better)

[Instrumental Break]

[Final Chorus]
The devil closed the bar early
Locked the silence in my chest
No prayers, no warnings
Just the weight of what was left
The world kept moving without mercy
Like I was never here
The devil closed the bar early
And left me with myself

[Outro]
(Don’t look back)
(There is nothing there)
