Demons

[Verse 1]

You could never really win

Not to say you're born to lose

You were born to take tenth place

Out of twenty in a field

Mistakes flow through your veins

In a mediocre way

Your life's a living hell

You've got gremlins in your blood cells

And monsters in your bed

They're haunting you again

Oh, but it must be this place

At least that's what you say, say, say

[Chorus]

You don't love you anymore

Cast your demons aside

Keep them close enough to know what you're running from

Soon you won't feel this anymore

Cast your demons aside

Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on

[Verse 2]

A fire used to burn

In your heart and in your eyes

You used to dream, you used to care

You used to love, you used to fight

For anything at all

You'd cover up your bedroom walls with who you want to be

Now you're afraid to be yourself

And you search the malls for something else

You read magazines and watch MTV

You've practiced it, and everything

Oh, you're dressed to impress

But you look like a drag queen

[Chorus]

You don't love you anymore

Cast your demons aside

Keep them close enough to know what you're running from

Soon you won't feel this anymore

Cast your demons aside

Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on

[Bridge]

So keep your head up high

Stretch inches into miles

Because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day

Focus on important things

Be your own god

Like every ghost that held you down was gone

Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on

[Chorus]

You don't love you anymore

Cast your demons aside

Keep them close enough to know what you're running from

Soon you won't feel this anymore

Cast your demons aside

Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on
