An Artist's Demons
If I put them in the open
They can't hurt me
Inside I may be broken
But I'm taking steps to heal
Why does my mind
Fight with me
Fake smile, hide inside
Denial, telling lies
I'm taken down by the ways of the world
I write what I found to keep sane, unabsurd
But my own words get to me
I live in my fantasies
I'm friends with my demons
More so as my thoughts
Deepen
Save my mental health
By risking it all
Falling in love
On one knee I crawl
Why do I try
When I'm lost, I can't see
I don't wanna leave
Stay here with me
I'm taken down by the ways of the world
I write what I found to keep sane, unabsurd
But my own words get to me
I live in my fantasies
I'm friends with my demons
More so as my thoughts
Deepen
I'm taken down by the ways of the world
I write what I found to keep sane, unabsurd
But my own words get to me
I live in my fantasies
I'm friends with my demons
More so as my thoughts
Deepen
Is it my art that depresses me so
Or is it that that saves me from
My own demons, thoughts, and lies
They repeat I want to die
But it's not my art that depresses me so
It's my own deep thoughts that take me to
Find the right words to tell share the story of my hell
Open the eyes of the people close to me 'fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
How do I know you won't let me down
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
They can't hurt me
Inside I may be broken
But I'm taking steps to heal
Why does my mind
Fight with me
Fake smile, hide inside
Denial, telling lies
I'm taken down by the ways of the world
I write what I found to keep sane, unabsurd
But my own words get to me
I live in my fantasies
I'm friends with my demons
More so as my thoughts
Deepen
Save my mental health
By risking it all
Falling in love
On one knee I crawl
Why do I try
When I'm lost, I can't see
I don't wanna leave
Stay here with me
I'm taken down by the ways of the world
I write what I found to keep sane, unabsurd
But my own words get to me
I live in my fantasies
I'm friends with my demons
More so as my thoughts
Deepen
I'm taken down by the ways of the world
I write what I found to keep sane, unabsurd
But my own words get to me
I live in my fantasies
I'm friends with my demons
More so as my thoughts
Deepen
Is it my art that depresses me so
Or is it that that saves me from
My own demons, thoughts, and lies
They repeat I want to die
But it's not my art that depresses me so
It's my own deep thoughts that take me to
Find the right words to tell share the story of my hell
Open the eyes of the people close to me 'fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
How do I know you won't let me down
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
I'm taken down
By the ways
Of the world
'Fore I bleed
