Demons (Reimagined)

Intro: I built you just to make it through Now I don’t know what’s me or you Verse 1: I learned to smile with sharpened teeth Turned every scar into belief If I stay cold, I can’t be burned If I stay loud, I won’t be heard I made a monster out of need Fed it fear until it breathed Now it walks behind my eyes Wearing all my alibis Pre-Chorus: They say “face your demons” like they’re not The only thing that kept me alive Chorus: These demons don’t want my soul They want control They talk in my voice, they wear my bones I let them in, now they won’t go These demons know all my scars They know my heart I didn’t summon them to destroy I built them just to survive Verse 2: Every mirror feels like war I don’t recognize myself anymore I say I’m fine like it’s a spell But lies don’t keep you safe from hell I sharpened edges, killed the light Just to make it through the night Now peace feels like a foreign land And calm slips through my hands Pre-Chorus: If I tear them out, what’s left of me? If I let them go, do I bleed? Chorus: These demons don’t want my soul They want control They learned my language, hacked my code Now every thought feels overthrown These demons live in my skin Under my ribs I didn’t raise them to be kings I just needed something to win Bridge: Maybe I don’t need to kill them all Maybe I don’t need to fall apart Maybe I can break the chain Without erasing who I became I don’t need war to feel strong I don’t need pain to move on If they were built from my fear Then I can unbuild them here Final Chorus: These demons don’t own my name Or my pain I can hear them, I just don’t obey I’m not the weapon they made These demons shaped who I was Not who I am I don’t need cages in my head To prove that I survived Outro: I don’t need monsters anymore I made it through the war
