Negative 8

I know you seen that shit coming
And you don't want to miss it
So you can watch me set the stage for displays of demolition
I'm lost without a vision but it was my intention
To finish what we started far beyond a simple intermission
But given the circumstances and your need for attention
I stand the victim of division, a ghostly apparition
But isn't it just a shame you stand in step with their decisions
I'm left with my incisions while the razor blade glistens in blood red
A prison with an infinite existence
So is it a part of me or was it distant intervention
You made it fade away and you created a fission
You didn't know how to listen and you can never be forgiven
Consider this, as I attempt to improve my condition
Positions of sanity would beat my heart into submission
But now I see it's over with a final admission
I leave this world of my own volition

So let it go
It's just another demon inside of your mind
To take you by the hand and leave you behind
I try to get it together, try to be something better
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go
Yeah we figured you out by now
You bow down, just a face in the crowd
So let it go in your soul, look and see what you find
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go

Hands out to take
It seems every motherfucker 'round here is a fake
Allow me to wake you up and put you down in my place
And see the death in your eyes when you can't stomach the taste
So look at me motherfucker, look me dead in the face and see
Every memory that time will not erase
Yeah you put me on trial, said I defiled your grace
A voluntary recoil from my attempt to embrace
I know this distorts your fantasy but keep up the pace
Maybe the truth is a lie and I'll finally rest my case
But days are growing old and I remember the ways
You ran away from me
I have never been so betrayed
They say roses never fade, but they can be a mistake
Lost faith and misplaced hate to lay waste
But now I see it's over knowing this is fate
You can't save me, it's too late

So let it go
It's just another demon inside of your mind
To take you by the hand and leave you behind
I try to get it together, try to be something better
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go
Yeah we figured you out by now
You bow down, just a face in the crowd
So let it go in your soul, look and see what you find
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go

The greatest guilt is lying to yourself
For the sake of someone else
And when I stopped to listen
Your heart was offbeat to the song I was singing
But opposing ideals could never exist in your inferno
And after years of endless torment
The ill effects of your absence finally start to fade

So let it go
It's just another demon inside of your mind
To take you by the hand and leave you behind
I try to get it together, try to be something better
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go
Yeah we figured you out by now
You bow down, just a face in the crowd
So let it go in your soul, look and see what you find
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go
It's just another demon inside of your mind
To take you by the hand and leave you behind
I try to get it together, try to be something better
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go
Yeah we figured you out by now
You bow down, just a face in the crowd
So let it go in your soul, look and see what you find
But then it's just another demon inside
So let it go
