I wish I were a demon, cause' I'm tired of being human They just sit around and watch you while you're sleeping They don't have that voice in their head saying, "you're better off dead" Why can't my demons go away? I wish I were a demon Cause' I'm tired of being restless If I'm not perfect, guess that means I'm worthless I'd fix the problems in my life, but I'm the one holding the knife Why can't my demons go away? Red eyes and glistening fangs, can you take the pain away? I'm trapped inside my prison of a brain I'd rather be feared than be scared, I'm being torn apart again Cause' I've got these demons in my head Red eyes and glistening fangs, can you take the pain away? I'm trapped inside my prison of a brain I'd rather be feared than be scared, I'm being torn apart again Cause' I've got these demons in my head All I ever wanted was to escape from here Can't tell which thoughts are my own, and which ones were placed there I'm trapped inside a nightmare, and I'm forever asleep Without someone to wake me I wish I were a demon, cause' I'm losing my goddamn mind I've been wasting time thinking things will be just fine There's no off switch for my brain, and it's driving me insane Why can't my demons go away? And if I were a demon, would my demons go away? If I were a demon, would my demons go away?
