[Verse 1] Sitting in the dark playing with my demons Thumb on the blade of the night trying not to feel it Old marks on my hands from the things I kept alive I talk tough to the mirror but it don’t talk back [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you want tell me what you need I been at the edge and the edge knows me If I let you in you don’t leave a trace If I shut you out you still know my name [void] cried in the mirror and the mirror laughed at me awareness shifting perception deceiving the emotions im feeling tears flood down my face in the mirror i see a smile while emotions surge tombstones calling void to an early grave i can be the smoke i can be the flame i can be stable but all I hear is demons rioting thru the foggy trees shadows demons ghosts monsters unable to tell if they are all the same thing depending on the trauma looping in my fucking head [Chorus] Playing with my demons playing with my demons Pull me close, then leave me pull me close, then leave me I don’t need a savior I just need one reason Playing with my demons playing with my demons [Verse 2] Got a stack of missed calls face down on the table Cold tea in a cup and the room feels unstable I laugh at the pain like it’s something I can hold But it bites through my fingers and it never gets old You can hear me breathing through the walls at night Every little lie comes dressed up right I keep one foot in and one foot out Praying for a calm that don’t come around [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what you want tell me what you need I been at the edge and the edge knows me If I let you in you don’t leave a trace If I shut you out you still know my name [void] playing with my demons please dont give me a reason i fight through the pain emotional weather always drowning me in rain being held back by invisible chains half the time i cant even speak to many demons playing screaming my name so I bite my lip till it bleeds red hot lighters burning smileys adrenaline please rescue me even if its brief tasting the blood staining my teeth with a smile on my face piercings running me out of real-estate took most of em out so I can do it again another day these are jus some of the games my demons play stay away and leave me be the demons are the only ones that have never left me except for my SweetPea distance to far to see the other half of me so ill play with my demons till the day I see her face again [Chorus] Playing with my demons playing with my demons Pull me close, then leave me pull me close, then leave me I don’t need a savior I just need one reason Playing with my demons playing with my demons [Bridge] Maybe I’m the fire maybe I’m the smoke Maybe I’m the hand that keeps cutting the rope If I speak my truth will it set me free? Or just call them all back to the seat by me [Void] playing with my demons knocking on graves of the past till my tombstones glow casting shadow demons to play with me look into the past and try to see the real void thats burried underneath the hollowed ground and the roots of the trees almost slipping off the edge of my abyss till the shadow holding my feet grabs onto solid land catching the edgs before the pit inside inhales swallows my soul needing meditation to even try and feel free demons in the rearview always whisper screams i dont know if there leading to my death or trying to save me emotions to loud its hard to hear them keeping Tyler trying to sleep playing with my demons did I integrate them or are they integrating me [Final Chorus] Playing with my demons playing with my demons Pull me close, then leave me pull me close, then leave me I don’t need a savior I just need one reason Playing with my demons playing with my demons
