Demons

When I think of you in the city,
The sight of you among the sites.
I get this sudden sinking feeling,
Of a man about to fly.
Never kept me up before,
Now I´ve been awake for days.
I can´t fight it anymore,
I´m going through an awkward phase.
I am secretly in love with,
Everyone that I grew up with.
Do my crying underwater,
I can´t get down any farther.
All my drowning friends can see,
Now there is no running from it.
It´s become the crux of me,
I wish that I could rise above it.
But I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
Passing buzzards in the sky,
Alligators in the sewers.
I don´t even wonder why,
Hide among the under views.
Huddle with them all night long,
The worried talk to god goes on.
I sincerely tried to love it,
Wish that I could rise above it.
But I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
Can I stay here? I can sleep
On the floor
Paint the blood and hang the palms,
On the door.
Do not think I´m going places anymore,
Wanna see the sun come up above New York.
Oh, everyday I start so great,
Then the sunlight dims.
Less I´ve learned,
The more I see the pythons and the limbs.
Do not know what´s wrong with me,
Sours in the cup.
When I walk into a room,
I do not light it up.
Fuck.
So I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
The sight of you among the sites.
I get this sudden sinking feeling,
Of a man about to fly.
Never kept me up before,
Now I´ve been awake for days.
I can´t fight it anymore,
I´m going through an awkward phase.
I am secretly in love with,
Everyone that I grew up with.
Do my crying underwater,
I can´t get down any farther.
All my drowning friends can see,
Now there is no running from it.
It´s become the crux of me,
I wish that I could rise above it.
But I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
Passing buzzards in the sky,
Alligators in the sewers.
I don´t even wonder why,
Hide among the under views.
Huddle with them all night long,
The worried talk to god goes on.
I sincerely tried to love it,
Wish that I could rise above it.
But I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
Can I stay here? I can sleep
On the floor
Paint the blood and hang the palms,
On the door.
Do not think I´m going places anymore,
Wanna see the sun come up above New York.

With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
I stay down,
With my demons.
