Demons

CAN’T BLINK IT OFF! (oooooooohhhhhhh!) [Verse 1] I been staring at the wall like it owes me cash Three a.m. hands shaking, heartbeat going mad Something in the corner got a dirty laugh Says my name soft, then it cuts me back I lock every door and still don't feel safe Every little sound got me jumpin' in place I'm pissed at my skin, I'm pissed at my brain I'm pissed at the silence that won't go away (keep talking) I hear you, bastard, I hear you too [Pre-Chorus] Eyes wide open, can't blink it off Running on fumes and I can't shut down Thoughts like knives and they won't slow up This house feels smaller every damn hour [Chorus] I keep fighting these demons They keep circling my bed Your voice crawls through the ceiling And I can't get out my head I keep fighting these demons Hell-bent, half-dead, clenched tight You say I'm yours in the dark But I swear I'm still alive [Verse 2] I tore the sheets off, nothing there but me Still I feel that breath on the back of my teeth Got a rage in my chest like a broken machine And a fear so loud it can ruin my sleep I punch at the night, I curse at the floor I don't know who I'm saving this war for If I let go once, it'll drag me under So I bite my tongue and I bite back harder (goddamn it) Say it again, see what you get [Pre-Chorus] Eyes wide open, can't blink it off Running on fumes and I can't shut down Thoughts like knives and they won't slow up This house feels smaller every damn hour [Chorus] I keep fighting these demons They keep circling my bed Your voice crawls through the ceiling And I can't get out my head I keep fighting these demons Hell-bent, half-dead, clenched tight You say I'm yours in the dark But I swear I'm still alive [Bridge] If I break, I break loud If I bleed, let it show I'm not your fucking shadow I'm the last thing that goes I heard you begging, "fold now" I heard you promising pain But I built a fire in my bones And I’m not staying in chains [Final Chorus] I keep fighting these demons They keep circling my bed Your voice crawls through the ceiling And I can't get out my head I keep fighting these demons Hell-bent, half-dead, clenched tight You say I'm yours in the dark But I swear I'm still alive (I'm still alive) (I'm still alive)
