Demons
Avenged Sevenfold Lyrics

I've been thinking lots about my life and
I've been reflecting on my life and

How quick I'd wash it down the drain
How easy it is for me to ruin it

Past tense the future, nothing matters now
The past doesn't matter, and there's no future to worry about

I act on my own and I'm to blame
I make my own decisions and am responsible for my own actions

Living's a wicked dream, when things turn out all wrong
Life can be cruel when things go wrong

We're all so weak, no matter how strong, yeah
We all have our vulnerabilities, no matter how strong we appear

I tried running away from me
I've attempted to escape from myself

Convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Despite efforts to convince myself, I haven't truly matured

Change so unnaturally, Demons they follow me
Trying to change myself goes against my nature and demons (personal struggles) keep following me

I quit running away from me
I've stopped trying to run away from myself

Convinced that I had grown, but found out
Believing I had matured, but realizing the contrary

All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
All the reasons behind my madness stem from within me

I don't like that you're calling me a liar
It bothers me that you're accusing me of lying

I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
It bothers me that you discovered my true nature

Been sneaking around for far too long now
I've been deceitful for too long now

I don't like how fast my intentions fade
It bothers me how quickly my intentions change

Karma has beat me down, but the worst is yet to come
I've faced the consequences of my actions, but there's still more to come

Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah
I've made many mistakes and yet, I'm still young

I can't
I'm unable to

Count how many times
Determine the number of times

Awakened in fear, nightly
Woke up scared, every night

(Palms sweating)
(Hands sweating)

Dreams
Nightmares

Where promises are made
Where I make promises

To no one but myself
But only to myself

(Help him)
(Somebody help me)

Crushed daily
Overwhelmed every day

Don't lend me your hand
Don't try to help me

I can't trust my self
I don't trust myself

So how can you trust me?
So how can you trust me?

We've all made selfish bad decisions
We've all made poor selfish choices

We've all tried dishing out the blame
We've all attempted to shift the blame

Convinced ourselves of our own actions
Believing our own behavior is justified

My problem is I'll never change
My issue is that I won't ever truly change

In doubt, some good comes out
In uncertain times, something positive happens

I'll fold before its time
I'll give up before it's necessary

Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah
I can't guarantee it'll be the last time

Truth won't help you now
Honesty won't make a difference now

All the loves gone too far
The relationship has become too damaged

(Ooh, ooh)
(Sound effect)

I'm scarred, yeah-yeah
I'm marked, yeah yeah

Demons they follow me, cause my insanity
My personal struggles haunt me and make me unstable

(Aaaaooohhh)
(Sound effect)
