Better Demons lyrics

Children so traumatized in the first years of life

that they do not bond with other people

They are children who cannot love or accept love

Who could hurt or even kill without remorse

Could a great deal of this be demons?

We both know that there's a season

A time and place to believe in

The strange is gonna come, and we both need it

To give this up right now

And there's no easy way to say that we've both changed

The life we knew, well, it won't ever be the same

I'm just holding on to my better demons

And I really need them not to fail me now

I speak in tongues, but I can never free them

And my spirit weakens, but I won't back down

No holy ghost, no holy spirit

I'm on my own right now

Do the angels sing if you can't hear them?

'Cause I don't hear a sound

Yeah, there's no easy way to tell you that I'm gone

I'm just holding on to my better demons

And I really need them not to fail me now

I speak in tongues, but I can never free them

And my spirit weakens, but I won't back down

Lead me while I wait for clouds to break

On my own, I'll face down all my enemies

I'm just holding on to my better demons

And I really need them not to fail me now

I speak in tongues, but I can never free them

And my spirit weakens, but I won't back down

In your nightmare what happens?

I get really scared

Where are you in the nightmare? What happens in the dream?

I'm in my house upstairs

And then what happens next?

And then he comes upstairs and, um, hurts
