Demons


There's something inside me 

It's eating me alive

All these demons 

Trying to make me who I'm not 

Tearing me down 

We were told 

To hold our ground 

How are we supposed to do that 

When everyone else wants to bury us beneath it 

These demons taking away our strengths 

How are we suppose to be 

Everything they expect us to be 

With all these demons 

Replacing our thoughts 

Wirh things we don't want 

There's no escaping them 

These demons 

Are everywhere I go 

They're breaking my strongest of walls 

I'm trying to pull  myself up 

But it's like there are weigths pulling me down 

All these demons 

Are destroying me
