My Demons Got Demons

​(Verse 1)

Woke up in a sweat, my head's a fucking mess

Got a thousand voices screamin' in my chest

One tells me to run, the other says to stay

Yeah, I got a civil war inside my head today

Walkin' through the city, see the concrete graves

Everybody's happy, but they're just fuckin' slaves

To a perfect lie, a picture on a screen

While I'm diggin' for a truth in a world that's so obscene.

​(Pre-Chorus)

They say, "Just get help, man, just get a prescription"

But they don't know the sickness, don't know the fucking fiction

That's runnin' through my blood, through every single vein

Tryin' to outrun the ghost, tryin' to outlast the rain.

​(Chorus)

'Cause my demons got demons, they're fuckin' up their own heads

They're makin' deals with the devil and dyin' in their own beds

Yeah, my demons got demons, they're fightin' for my soul

They're losing the war, and I'm losing all control

So don't tell me I'm fucked, don't tell me I'm insane

'Cause my demons got demons, and they're feelin' all the same pain.

​(Verse 2)

Saw my reflection in a shattered storefront glass

Looked like a monster, a shadow from the past

Got your perfect smile, got your perfect hair

But you're just a fuckin' fake, a millionaire in despair

Yeah, I'm singin' in the streets to a world that doesn't care

About the boy with the messed-up hair and the thousand-yard stare

But at least my darkness is a hundred percent real

'Cause what's a beautiful lie if you can't even feel?

​(Pre-Chorus)

They say, "Just get help, man, just get a prescription"

But they don't know the sickness, don't know the fucking fiction

That's runnin' through my blood, through every single vein

Tryin' to outrun the ghost, tryin' to outlast the rain.

​(Chorus)

'Cause my demons got demons, they're fuckin' up their own heads

They're makin' deals with the devil and dyin' in their own beds

Yeah, my demons got demons, they're fightin' for my soul

They're losing the war, and I'm losing all control

So don't tell me I'm fucked, don't tell me I'm insane

'Cause my demons got demons, and they're feelin' all the same pain.

​(Bridge)

**(The music drops to just a simple, distorted bass riff and a light drum beat. The vocals become a raw, half-spoken rant.)**

Yeah, I know you see me. You think you got me figured out?

"Oh, another sad boy, another fuckin' shout"

But you don't know the whispers when the lights go out

You don't know the fear, the hunger, the doubt

The fuckin' darkness I gotta live with every day

So don't tell me that it's all gonna be okay.

​(Guitar Solo)

​(Chorus)

'Cause my demons got demons, they're fuckin' up their own heads

They're makin' deals with the devil and dyin' in their own beds

Yeah, my demons got demons, they're fightin' for my soul

They're losing the war, and I'm losing all control

So don't tell me I'm fucked, don't tell me I'm insane

'Cause my demons got demons, and they're feelin' all the same pain.
