Demons
Obscure of Acacia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They are counting down
Who they are who am I
Not knowing is blessing
My body's getting cold is it salvation

Can't let this pain go, this pain will never let me go
What the fuck have I done
There is no blood, no foes or friends in my life
Tell me who is there, stunning me through a miles

Dark silhouette is haunting me
I am empty inside, you can take nothing from me
Why the fucking cross leaves a burns on my skin
What have i done? Why did i forget
Forget

Look at the demon I am, save my soul
Look in my eyes
Does this black mass still lives in me
They aren't ready to die
My demons will leave me if i'm cornered or free

Damned soul oh my damned soul
What have I done? Why everything's wrong now
Tear my eyes
Everything's even worse than I thought
Tear my eyes
In this world must be a place for people like me
Save us kill our demons

This story is about their feelings
Non of mine
Feed their eyes with you depression
And they will never die

What have I done
There is no life, no death, no pain,
No bitterness in my hands
What the fuck have I done
There is no blood, no foes or friends in my life
Tell me who is there, stunning me through a miles

Take a look at me
My dreams didn't come true
Otherwise I would have remembered
Otherwise I would have been happy

I'll never be happy here

Take my fucking hand
And show that I had, what was in my hands
Take my fucking hand
And I'll show you a demon what I am




And I'll show you how strong the demons inside me
Why did I forget
