Tiptoe around these thoughts
Eggshells, try not to walk
Too fast, shh, don't talk
Too loud, don't get found out
Pause, don't make a sound
Rip me, tear me, I'm unbound
These demons will bury me in the ground
Red eyes, red eyes
Don't look into their red eyes
They got a grip on me. Get your, get your paws off me
Don't know how they saw me. I thought my mind had taught me
How to, how to, how to, how to
K-k-keep the demons out
Keep the demons out
No
Mind blown, heavy thoughts. Lie down, valiantly fought
Reap what I sought, caught
Am I out of my head? Will they find me dead
Does it matter what I said when
These demons will bury me in the ground
White lies, white lies, don't listen to their white lies
They got a grip on me. Get your, get your paws off me
Don't know how they saw me. I thought my mind had taught me
How to, how to, how to, how to
K-k-keep the demons out
Keep the demons out
No
I'm grappling with shadows, a mental gladiator
In the coliseum of thoughts, I'm the last player
Demons in my head, they're the dark narrators
Whispers in my veins, yeah they're chronic invaders
Mind's a battlefield, trenches of despair
Each thought like artillery, friendly fire isn't fair
I'm dodging memories, trapped in quicksand
I don't want to Texas Hold 'Em, but I'm losing my hand
Chained to the weight of this cerebral cyclone
Fighting phantoms in a hall of mirrors all alone
Clenching hope like a lifeline, frayed at the seam
But I'm a warrior, won't surrender to this dream
Veins filled with venom, toxicity flows
I'm the architect of my pain, but I'm breaking the prose
With every line I speak, I'm dismantling the chains
Transcending the chaos, let the light in my veins
Rid me of my pains, rid me of my sins, rid me of the thoughts before I end it myself
F*ck
Keep the demons out
Cut ties, cut ties
Cut ties, cut ties
They got a grip on me. Get your, get your paws off me
Don't know how they saw me. I thought my mind had taught me
How to, how to, how to, how to
K-k-keep the demons out
Keep the demons out
No
If the demons don't go, I will
K-k-keep the demons out
No
Red eyes, white lies, cut ties. Keep the demons out
