Lyrics Silverstein – Demons
Text:
You’ve laid down the weapons
You still spread the disease
And now you make commitments
You couldn’t possibly keep
You love the sympathy
And in your place of solace
There’s never honesty
Something I need to tell them
Not that it would change their minds
You polished your reputation
They’ve never seen the other side
Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere
You’ve got a cross on your forehead
You crave the people to see
How you can open up their vaults
With your skeleton key
Nothing that you could tell me
The past could never change my mind
You built up my expectations
And let me down every time
Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere
Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
You take them everywhere
Last year you stole it
Was broken all possession
These words I’m reading
Paint a thousand pictures
Take off your mask you’re hiding behind
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere
Take off your mask, your faded design
Break off the chains, your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere
Stop hiding
With your cross to bear
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere
