[Verse 1] Every little worry, every memory I've tried to hide- They all come sweeping back in the moment I close my eyes. I feel too much, think too loud, even when it's quiet here, And all the pains I tried to hide from seem to appear. I replay every moment like a movie on repeat. Watching every failure till the screen fades out, take a seat Reliving every frame until I break down And every scene is your reminder I'm obsolete [Pre-chorus] You say, you're gonna lose it They're gonna see who you are You're never gonna outrun me You can't escape this dark [Chorus] Inner demons, calling from the dark Inner demons, tearing me apart Running circles around my head Words that I can't soon forget Are you just a voice or are you me? Did I create you or did you create me? Inner demons, I've heard you for so long, I don't know anymore If I'm the one who's speaking, or the one you speak for [Verse 2] You tell me all my dreams are foolish That I'm reaching way too far Then you laugh when I get closer Reminding me, "You know who you really are." But I know your voice, I've heard it all my life You're the shadow in the mirror, you're the echo in the night You tell me I'm not worth it, that I'll never be enough But you're only in my head, saying it's me they'll never love. Pre-Chorus You say, You're gonna lose it They're gonna see who you are You're never gonna outrun me You can't escape this dark [Chorus] Inner demons, calling from the dark Inner demons, tearing me apart Running circles around my head Words that I can't soon forget Are you just a voice or are you me? Did I create you or did you create me? Inner demons, I've heard you for so long, I don't know anymore If I'm the one who's speaking, or the one you speak for [Verse 3] Sometimes I can't tell who's in control, or what I'm fighting for Every time I shut you out, you come knocking at the door You keep telling me I'm broken, like you've told me before And just when I think you've gone quiet, the barrage comes back even more "You'll never be enough. Why would anyone choose you? You're only pretending you belong, it's you who's being a fool. You're going to fail, you only have yourself to blame. You should be ashamed, that the ultimate outcome was the same." Bridge Maybe you were born from every wound Maybe you grew from every word Maybe you were trying to keep me safe From everything that ever hurt But I don't need you anymore I don't need to live afraid You can scream until you're silent You don't get to choose my fate I've heard your lies and I know them now. You fed me fear, but I see through it now. You had me fooled, but you can't fool me now. You made me broken, but I'm standing now. Pre-Chorus You say, You're gonna lose it They're gonna see who you are You're never gonna outrun me You can't escape this dark [Chorus] Inner demons, calling from the dark Inner demons, tearing me apart Running circles around my head Words that I can't soon forget Are you just a voice or are you me? Did I create you or did you create me? Inner demons, I've heard you for so long, I don't know anymore If I'm the one who's speaking, or the one you speak for [Outro] It takes time to live, it takes time to die, But most of us only know what it's like to survive. Fight those inner demons, inner demons
