Old Demons

Apathy was a game I never played 'Cause agony was a feeling I'd been steeped in slow Swapping all my smiles for a scowl And sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye But I'm letting the old demons out Bringing down the walls around All the denial and the doubt (Solo) I won't be satisfied 'til the saccharine faces fade Making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions For I was blind now I can see Every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me But I'm letting the old demons out Bringing down the walls around All the denial and the doubt And If I suddenly sink Into a cowardly drink To drown out the swarm of the hive minded bees Strike the spirits from my rigid wrists And pull me out of the tide I'm tumbling in (Solo) But I'm letting the old demons out Bringing down the walls around All the denial and the doubt Every painful plea aloud Kicking the old demons out Bringing down the walls around All the denial and the doubt
