lyrics

Demons (self)

[Verse 1]
Don’t turn away from the prize
Come and take it
Failure isn’t fated
And life is what you make it
So if you want it come and get it

Love or a fantasy or anything you’re after
Fear is in your face but it won’t end in disaster
It’s too haunting not to let it

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow you whole
Give into your instincts
Body and soul
Consumed in an instant

[Chrous]
You can’t control them
But you’ve got to own them
We live with our demons
And feed them
But keep a short leash between them

This is the moment
To break from the broken
And it don’t stop the bleeding
But take time
And you’ll find
A reason

[Verse 2]
Too slow
And a little uncomfortable
The cups are full, so
Pick your poison, but
Where’s the choice in that

I know
You have got such an appetite
And the moment is right
So let go and let it

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow you whole
Give into your instincts
Body and soul
Consumed in an instant

[Chrous]
You can’t control them
But you’ve got to own them
We live with our demons
And feed them
But keep a short leash between them

This is the moment
To break from the broken
And it don’t stop the bleeding
But take time
And you’ll find
A reason

[Bridge]
Open cages
Empty pages
Truth is faceless
(ay ay oh yeah)

I’m the voice
Inside you burning
Night through morning
So give in, give in, give in

Open cages
Empty pages
Truth is faceless
(ay-ay-ayy)

I’m not one you
Just get used to

So think twice
If you’re gonna roll the dice
You know that kismet isn’t kind
When you gamble with your
Heart and your
Mind

[Chrous]
You can’t control them
But you’ve got to own them
We live with our demons
And feed them
But keep a short leash between them

This is the moment
To break from the broken
And it don’t stop the bleeding
But take time
And you’ll find ayy-ayy-ayy

You can’t control them
But you’ve got to own them
We live with our demons
And feed them
But keep a short leash between them

This is the moment
To break from the broken
And it don’t stop the bleeding
But take time
And you’ll find
Take time and you will find ayy

A reason
