[Intro] "Yeah... check it." "Nine years old in the dark," "You whispered, 'I got you.'" "Nobody else showed up," "So I let you through." "You were the only one" "Who ever stayed the night." "Now I'm standing at the door," "AND YOU AIN'T TRYNA SAY GOODBYE!" [Pre-Chorus] I got a hole in my chest Where the feelings used to go, And you filled it up with static, Said, "Just don't let it show." Funeral black in my closet, I ain't cried since then, 'Cause every time it hurt, You were my best friend. But now you want the wheel, Now you want the keys, Now you tell me what to feel, Tell me when to breathe. Wait, wait, hold up- You're the one I'm tryna leave, So why's my own hand shaking When I'm reaching for the leash? [Chorus] 'Cause you're the demon that kept me alive! Numbed me out when I wanted to die! Now I'm choking on the cure, I can't tell what's mine! You're the demon that kept me alive! Told me, "Don't you feel it, don't you cry!" Now I'm done, I'm done, I'm done with the lie! You're the demon that kept me alive! [Breakdown Lead-In] "You can't have me." [Heavy Breakdown] Get! Out! Of my head! (Get out!) Get! Out! Of my bed! (Get out!) I said get! Out! Of my chest! Gonna feel it all, gonna bleed, Gonna bury the rest! [Breakdown Rupture] You took the pain, But you took the rest! You took the love, You took the breath! You say you're saving me, But I'm already dead! LET ME FEEL IT! [Breakdown Reset] "I'm not afraid of the hurt no more..." "I'm afraid of the quiet" "When you walk out that door." [Final Chorus] 'Cause you were the demon that kept me alive! Held my hand through the worst of my life! But I'm walking, I'm walking Out into the light! You were the demon that kept me alive! Thank you, goodbye, I'm gonna survive! Gonna cry, gonna scream, Gonna feel it tonight! You were the demon that kept me alive! [Outro] "Yeah..." "It's loud out here." "Everything's so loud." "But it's mine." "It's all mine."
