Prompt / Lyrics

(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.
