Demons
Jasmine Thompson Lyrics

When the days are cold
When life gets hard and difficult to deal with

And the cards all fold
And things don't go as planned

And the saints we see
And the people we idolize or look up to

Are all made of gold
Are not as perfect as they are portrayed to be

When your dreams all fail
When your aspirations and desires don't come to fruition

And the ones we hail
And the people we praise or admire

Are the worst of all
Are not worthy of our respect

And the blood's run stale
And life seems to come to a standstill

I wanna hide the truth
I want to keep my problems to myself

I wanna shelter you
I want to protect you from the harsh realities of life

But with the beast inside
But with my inner demons

There's nowhere we can hide
There's no escaping our problems

No matter what we breed
No matter what kind of world we create

We still are made of greed
We humans are still selfish and self-centered in nature

This is my kingdom come
This is my reality, my truth

When you feel my heat
When you feel my pain and struggles

Look into my eyes
Understand me and my situation

It's where my demons hide
It's where my inner problems and challenges lie

Don't get too close
But don't get too involved or dragged into my problems

It's dark inside
Because it's not a pretty picture

At the curtain's call
At the end of life

It's the last of all
It's the final moment

When the lights fade out
When everything turns bleak and hopeless

All the sinners crawl
Everyone has to face their own misdeeds and faults

So they dug your grave
So your time has come to an end

And the masquerade
And the facade of pretending everything is okay

Will come calling out
Will be exposed

At the mess you made
At the consequences of your actions

Don't wanna let you down
Don't want to disappoint you

But I am hell bound
But I am trapped in my own problems

Though this is all for you
Regardless of my own struggles, I am doing this for you

Don't wanna hide the truth
Don't want to hide the reality of the situation

They say it's what you make
They say you create your own destiny

I say it's up to fate
But I believe it's all in the hands of the universe

It's woven in my soul
It's a part of who I am, in my very being

I need to let you go
I need to move on and let go of the past

Your eyes, they shine so bright
Your spirit and energy are so full of life

I wanna save that light
I want to keep that alive and not let it die due to circumstances

I can't escape this now
I can't run away from my problems now

Unless you show me how
Unless you help me and guide me through this
