Lyrics
Better Demons
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Children so traumatized in the first years of life
That they do not bond with other people
They are children who cannot love or accept love
Who could hurt or even kill without remorse
Could a great deal of this be demons?
We both know that there's a season
A time and place to believe in
The strength is gonna come
And we both need it
To give this up right now
And there's no easy way to
Say that we both changed
The life we knew, well it won't ever be the same
I'm just holding on to my better demons
And I really need them not to fail me now
I speak in tongues but I can never free them
And my spirit weakens but I won't back down
No holy ghost, no Holy Spirit
I'm on my own right now
Do the angels sing if you can't hear them?
'Cause I don't hear a sound
And there's no easy way to tell you that I'm gone
I'm just holding on to my better demons
And I really need them not to fail me now
I speak in tongues but I can never free them
And my spirit weakens but I won't back down
Leave me well, I'm weak
From the glass you break
On my own I face down all my enemies
I'm just holding on to my better demons
And I really need them not to fail me now
I speak in tongues but I can never free them
And my spirit weakens but I won't back down
In your nightmare what happens?
I get really scared
Where are you in the nightmare?
What happens in the dream?
I'm in my house upstairs
And then what happens next?
And then he comes upstairs and, um, hurts
