Old Demons

[Verse 1]
Apathy was a game I never played
'Cause agony is a feeling I've been steeped in slow
Swapping all my smiles for a scowl
And sheltering my shortcomings from every prying eye

[Chorus]
But I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt

[Verse 2]
I won't be satisfied 'til the saccharine faces fade
Making a mockery of mythologies and tried traditions
For I was blind, now I can see
Every obstacle through soliloquy clears its path in front of me

[Chorus]
But I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt

[Bridge]
And if I suddenly sink into a cowardly drink
To drown out the swarm of the hive-minded bees
Strike the spirits from my rigid lips and pull me out
The tide all tumbling in

[Chorus]
But I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
Every painful plea aloud
Kicking the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
