Demons

Such a strange scene here, parasites everywhere

The darkness overwhelms

They’re here in front of me, but maybe not mentally

Staring at empty shells

Chase after the riches, like it’s their religion

Losing any glimpse of home

Cry myself to sleep, nightmares live past my dreams

Never felt so alone

.

I’m just still waiting for you to find me

You say you care but won’t even spare me a glance

You never even try to understand me

Afraid to lose something you never gave a chance

Running out of excuses, but can’t say goodbye

This place is filled with demons, but we just comply

.

See the leaves, feel the summer change to fall

Never has a moment made me feel so small

Staying up all night, can’t sleep through it all

Fake smiles going round all night until they fall

Hold it in until I’m alone, they can’t see me bawl

Am I ok, can I breathe, feel like life is a brawl

Don’t know how much longer I’ll make it

But who would really even care if I quit

.

I show up, feel all their eyes on me,

Dressed up, how they like me to be

Hold on, walls closing in on me

Hear them sharpen up their teeth

Don’t know how much more I can take

I feel my heart ache

Just wanna go home, lost all of my hope

Feel their morals shake, another law break

Holy house filled with devils, I just want to go home
