Demons
Improv Lyrics

See it ain't quite what it seems
Things are not what they appear to be

Who is this walker uh who is this walker
Who is in control of this situation?

See it ain't quite what it seems
Things are not what they appear to be

Who is this walker of fait cause it just ain't me
Who is responsible for my destiny because it is not me

See it ain't quite what it seems naw
Things are not how they appear to be

Who is this walker uh who is this walker
Who is in control of this situation?

See it ain't quite what it seems I'm sorry
I apologize for underestimating the complexity of this situation

Who is this walker of fate if not but that of man
Who is responsible for my destiny if not human choice?

Skies fall a Mordor painted with lost symphony
Everything is falling apart like a scene from a tragic movie

I clutch ta breathe a fire-breached image of you and me
I am gasping for breath while recalling a past romantic moment

As it were before the pendulum failed to escape gravity
Before the inevitable downfall occurred

Leavin’ my mind's eye alone in fog and false trickery
Leaving me confused and tricked by my own mind

Uh how can I not afford to spend some time with who I love the most
How can I not prioritize spending time with my loved ones?

How to translate that the hurtin’ inside
How do I express the pain that I feel?

Comes from the holes she pokes
Comes from the wounds she inflicts

I feel I'm falling out the lines sometimes like I wrote
I feel like my life is not going according to plan

This song a thousand times before the pen stroked
This situation feels like a recurring theme in my life

Woah back in ta place
I need to regroup and refocus

What's happening to me the life gone out my face
I feel like my life is slipping away

Off ta better candidates ta benefit the race
Moving on to better opportunities to succeed

Or so they tell me as I finger paint ta taste
But I'm still experimenting with different options to find my path

My blood sweat and tears Omotion on a hot plate
My hard work and dedication is boiling over

My goals moldin’ into throwin’ out the whole cake
My goals are changing drastically

See my love as you washed away my soul's fait
You have influenced my fate in a negative way

You broke down the barricade to stop the demons wake
You helped me overcome my inner demons

The repeating chorus section of the song

A reference to the singer or producer of the song

(Verse untranscribed)
A section of the song with unintelligible lyrics

I dared the black ta take me broken down to a bare man
I challenged my own inner darkness to break me down

My eyes see no good in this world that I can work at
I see no opportunities to make the world a better place

I took the stick of blue flame and burned all that I had
I destroyed everything I had in a fit of anger

Poisoned is the kid who grows up without a dad
Growing up without a father figure can be a traumatic experience

I'm done fightin’ it it seems ta be all that I've known
I am tired of fighting my inner demons because it feels like my only option

Not ignorant just pained by the bumps on the road
I am not unaware of my problems, but they still hurt me

Eyes blurred with tears and smoke that's so cold
My vision is clouded with tears and confusion

Fist clinch tight tryin’ ta fight their grip on my soul
I am desperately trying to free myself from my demons' hold on me

And I don’t wanna let it go beautiful
I don't want to let go of the beauty in life

But they lassoed my tongue to the floor and won't let go
My inner demons are silencing me

Encaged by my bottom teeth and can't seem ta break free
I feel trapped and powerless to escape

But please believe me it ain't you
It's not your fault that I am struggling

I'm so different and crippled by the thought a being just that
I feel like an outcast and it's affecting me deeply

So many times I'm knocked flat that I can't seem ta fight back
I have been beaten down so much that I am losing the strength to fight

No more weakness cycles into the abyss
I refuse to let my weakness drag me down any further

Cut my soul free from this rope so I can stand and fight this
I need to break free from my inner turmoil to fight back

Yeah and live ta see another day
I want to keep fighting to see another day

I wish there were another way ta gain perspective but there ain't
I wish there was an easier way to gain perspective, but there isn't

So there I go farewell to my captured fairy fly
So I say goodbye to the idea of a fairy tale ending

Maybe the next lifetime our souls'll grab ahold
Maybe in the next life, things will be better

And not let go but for now I gotta hold on ta
But for now, I have to hold on to the good memories

Memories of what I used ta know ta fight the cold and
Memories of the past help me fight through the tough times

Not take for granted all the potence that you showed em
I won't forget the strength and support that others have shown me

Angela Rose field's unconditionally open
The singer is acknowledging someone named Angela Rose and their openness and kindness

Smellin’ sweet enough ta spike my blood
This person's presence brings joy and excitement to my life

My brother was the only one that said they might be good
My brother was the only one who believed in this person

And he was right now I know the real deal
My brother was right, this person is genuine and trustworthy

The bumps are there ta keep you from fallin' asleep at the wheel
The challenges in life are there to keep us engaged and alert

That right now close that dusty book
Right now, it's time to move on from the past

Stories like this make you appreciate ya rustic nook
Experiences like this help us appreciate the little things in life

An if my soul get took like this from now til the death of me
If my inner demons keep haunting me until I die

imma man this broken vehicle to the best of my ability
I will keep fighting to the best of my ability despite my struggles
