[Verse 1]
You said I would've hit the ceiling
You said I
You said I should eat my feelings
Head held high

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't take anyone down if I crawl tonight
But I still let everyone down when I change in size
And I went tumbling down tryna reach your high
But I scream too loud if I speak my mind

[Chorus]
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
The devil in me
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
The devil in me

[Post-Chorus]
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Come back to life
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Come back to life

[Verse 2]
You said I'm too much to handle
You said I
Shine too bright, I burnt the candle
Flew too high

[Pre-Chorus]
I won't take anyone down if I crawl tonight
But I still let everyone down when I change in size
And I went tumbling down tryna reach your high
But I scream too loud when I speak my mind

[Chorus]
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
The devil in me
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
I don't wanna wake it up
The devil in me

[Post-Chorus]
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Come back to life
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Come back to life

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Now I gotta wake it up
Now I gotta wake it up
Now I gotta wake it up
The devil in me
Now I gotta wake it up
Now I gotta wake it up
Now I gotta wake it up
The devil in me

[Post-Chorus]
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Come back to life
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up, gotta wake up
Gotta wake up
Come back to life

Halsey

Halsey is the stage name of New Jersey singer Ashley Nicolette Frangipane. It is an anagram of her first name and reference to the Halsey Street subway stop and street in Brooklyn where she used to live. The bio on her website

I am Halsey. I will never be anything but honest. I write songs about sex and being sad."

Halsey was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when she was 17. This has greatly influenced her creative process from the start of her career. Songs like “Control” and “Gasoline” explicitly delve into her psychological and emotional battles. Manic, Halsey’s third album and arguably her rawest and most emotionally vulnerable, was written in a fully manic state rather than a depressive one.
