Outer Demons

We’ll all stop singing songs and start singing out our pain instead I hope one day to bury the past so deep my ghost can’t find it Is this you being yourself or acting on part to please someone else Take a look at your health, take a look in someone else’s eyes but don’t deface yourself Go on, try to, delete me, deceive me, you can’t I will destroy you, that demon inside before it destroys everything At some point you’ll have to make a few decisions Boundaries don’t keep anybody out they only fence us in I’ve got myself and no one else Our demons are made from a past but we leave them home in hell I’ve got myself and no one else and I am just fine with this I’ve got myself and no one else but I’m not okay, who am I kidding? Is this you being yourself or acting on part to please someone else Take a look at your health, take a look in someone else’s eyes but don’t deface yourself Go on, try to, delete me, deceive me, you can’t I will destroy you, that demon inside before it destroys everything I will destroy you Leave now while you still have the legs to take you Go on, try to, delete me, deceive me, you can’t I will destroy you, that demon inside before it destroys me Maybe I don’t need to find a demon that plays well with mine Maybe I need to let go of the hell I keep raising inside on my own On my own
