Demons

Location

I hide my eyes so you can't see

The demon that's inside of me

It likes to come out and play

That's who you saw as me today

 

I close my eyes to make it sleep

The demon that's inside of me

One pill, two pills; how many more

Until I know it's gone for sure?

 

I hide my eyes so you can't see

The demon that's inside of me

It whispers things only I can hear

It tells me all my darkest fears

 

Why can't I just set it free

The demon that's inside of me

I swear I won't tell a soul

Unless my demon takes me whole

 

I hide my eyes so you won't see

The demon that's inside of me

I'm too tired to care, too tired to feel

I'm don't even know if this is real 

 

It's gotten so close, how can't you see

The demon that's inside of me

It walks and talks and breathes like me

The demon that's inside is me
