Lyrics

Demons

[Verse 1: Nathan]

Hey, I see a secret in your face

Did someone steal you away?

Is there someone else in my place?

I don't like this game

I, I can see the dirt in your hands

'Cause I know the way that you dance

Don't cover up cause it shows, mm

I wish you would

[Pre-Chorus: Siva]

Stop right now what you're doing, I know

I got a needle in my brain and an ache in my bones

I cannot do a damn thing 'cause nobody's home

And it's hell, oh, yeah, now I say

[Chorus: All]

All my life, I've played like a winner

Now all I see looking back in the mirror

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh, oh

All this time, the saint was a sinner

The joke's on me, a stone cold killer

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh oh

[Verse 2: Tom & Jay]

You have a natural sway

And you know how sweet you taste

But I can't take your flame

Like a bullet through my veins

As you scratch beneath my skin

My resistance crumbling

I cover up but it shows

But I guess you know you can

[Pre-Chorus: Max]

Stop right now what you're doing, I know

I got a needle in my brain and an ache in my bones

I cannot do a damn thing 'cause nobody's home

And it's hell, oh, yeah, now I say

[Chorus: All]

All my life, I've played like a winner

Now all I see looking back in the mirror

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh, oh

All this time, the saint was a sinner

The joke's on me, a stone cold killer

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh, oh

[Post-Chorus: Nathan & Max]

All this time, I said all this time

All this time, all this time

All this time, I said all this time (Oh)

All this time, all this time

[Chorus: All]

All my life, I've played like a winner

Now all I see looking back in the mirror

Demons in my head (Demons in my head)

The demon's in my head, oh, oh (The demons in my head)

All this time, the saint was a sinner

The joke's on me, a stone cold killer

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh, oh (Oh)

All my life, I've played like a winner

Now all I see looking back in the mirror

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh, oh (All this time)

All this time, the saint was a sinner

The joke's on me, a stone cold killer

Demons in my head, the demons in my head, oh, oh

(Demons in my head)
