Lyrics
Old 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.
Apathy was a game I never played
'Cause agony was a feeling I'd been steeped in slow
Swapping all my smiles for a scowl
And sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye
But I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
I won't be satisfied 'til the saccharine faces fade
Making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions
For I was blind now I can see
Every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me
But I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
And If I suddenly sink
Into a cowardly drink
To drown out the swarm
of the hive minded bees
Strike the spirits from my rigid wrists
And pull me out of the tide I'm tumbling in
But I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
Every painful plea aloud
Kicking the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
