Lyrics

demons

[Verse 1: Rou Reynolds]

He's just a boy

But inside him lives the beasts of ancient history

Now that's quite a cross to bear

She's just a girl

Dragging a suitcase full of her great-grandfather's misery

But she doesn't know that she's the heir

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow]

Hi

I don't believe we've met

I'm the voice inside your head

You can try and run

But I'm the silhouette

Blocking the light at the end of the tunnel

But it's not over yet

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Rory Clewlow]

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinnеr

Don't run away from your demons

Boil up the bastards' innards

I'll lay the tablе and attend to you

But my friend, you're on the menu tonight

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinner

[Verse 2: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]

We're smuggling heartache

Down through the ages, we're trapped in cages

But we're oblivious

I wish I could say the buck stops here

You're the curator

Of all my fears over the years

Now I'm your waiter

And it's gonna be such a joy to serve

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

Hi

I know who you are

You're the voice inside my head

Now I could try and run

But you're the silhouette

Blocking the light at the end of the tunnel

But it's not over yet

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow & Chris Batten]

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinner

Don't run away from your demons

Boil up the bastards' innards

I'll lay the table and attend to you

But my friend, you're on the menu tonight

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinner

[Bridge: Rou Reynolds]

Old wounds reopen on young skin

The past trembles through new voices

Unresolved chords

A heartbeat under floorboards

Be careful where you tread

How could we miss this?

Unfinished business

Invite them in for dinner

[Pre-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinner

Don't run away from your demons

Boil up the bastards

[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow & Chris Batten]

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinner

Don't run away from your demons

Boil up the bastards' innards

I'll lay the table and attend to you

But my friend, you're on the menu tonight

Don't run away from your demons

Invite them in for dinner
