Keep The Demons Out

Tiptoe around these thoughts Eggshells, try not to walk Too fast, shh, don't talk Too loud, don't get found out Pause, don't make a sound Rip me, tear me, I'm unbound These demons will bury me in the ground Red eyes, red eyes Don't look into their red eyes They got a grip on me. Get your, get your paws off me Don't know how they saw me. I thought my mind had taught me How to, how to, how to, how to K-k-keep the demons out Keep the demons out No Mind blown, heavy thoughts. Lie down, valiantly fought Reap what I sought, caught Am I out of my head? Will they find me dead Does it matter what I said when These demons will bury me in the ground White lies, white lies, don't listen to their white lies They got a grip on me. Get your, get your paws off me Don't know how they saw me. I thought my mind had taught me How to, how to, how to, how to K-k-keep the demons out Keep the demons out No I'm grappling with shadows, a mental gladiator In the coliseum of thoughts, I'm the last player Demons in my head, they're the dark narrators Whispers in my veins, yeah they're chronic invaders Mind's a battlefield, trenches of despair Each thought like artillery, friendly fire isn't fair I'm dodging memories, trapped in quicksand I don't want to Texas Hold 'Em, but I'm losing my hand Chained to the weight of this cerebral cyclone Fighting phantoms in a hall of mirrors all alone Clenching hope like a lifeline, frayed at the seam But I'm a warrior, won't surrender to this dream Veins filled with venom, toxicity flows I'm the architect of my pain, but I'm breaking the prose With every line I speak, I'm dismantling the chains Transcending the chaos, let the light in my veins Rid me of my pains, rid me of my sins, rid me of the thoughts before I end it myself F*ck Keep the demons out Cut ties, cut ties Cut ties, cut ties They got a grip on me. Get your, get your paws off me Don't know how they saw me. I thought my mind had taught me How to, how to, how to, how to K-k-keep the demons out Keep the demons out No If the demons don't go, I will K-k-keep the demons out No Red eyes, white lies, cut ties.
