Demons

Here's to all the demons
Who would never place their bets on you
In the current season
They will hand out bites too big to chew
When they ridicule you
You can hear your voice is breaking
Achingly tough to understand
They will try to fool you
Just to see your knees are shaking
Making it hard to take a stand

For the lack of options
You have joined them in the game they play
None of all the captions
Seemed to find perfect words to say
You are irritated
42 years in the making
Now waiting just isn't good enough
You may have overstated
All the things you'd been creating
Just baiting them to call your bluff

And they say that this life could be wonderful
But it's you who never got it
They say the world is exciting and colourful
It is you who never got it

Good at bad decisions
You avoid facing the forks of life
Just one more collision
And you know someone will twist the knife
Will you dare to paddle
When you know your boat is sinking
Shrinking your chances till they're blown?
Is it worth the hassle?
See the exit lights are blinking
You're thinking of land that hasn't shown

And they say that this life could be wonderful
But it's you who never got it
They say the world is exciting and colourful
It is you who never got it

You take it all out
On a last courageous shot to make it happen
To turn it around and leave it all behind

You take it all out
On a last courageous shot to make it happen
To turn it around and leave it all behind
