Inner Demons

( Brandon Schlacht )

You tell yourself lies

Keep telling yourself lies

It still won't help

'Cause there's still a truth

Deep inside your dreams

Deceive all your feelings

Hide them from the world

Tell yourself they're nothing

Doesn't mean they aren't there

In the corner of your mind

Drown your sorrows

Drown them in booze

Cover them in needles

These artificial highs

Will only make things worse

Insist it ain't there

Tell us all there's nothing there

We can tell by your eyes

You can't hide what you feel

Not even from yourself

Tell me the truth

We know what it is

You and I know

Let the fears go now

And save us both from lies

Your plastic toys

Your fake but there boys

They just aren't right

You know what is though

And you know that it's me

Hurry now and listen

While the sun still glistens

I won't repeat it

I'm here for you now

But I won't wait forever
