This song is about Phil Bozeman’s mother having DID & her writings in her journal (see What have the artists said about the song? for examples).
[Verse 1]
They appear
I remember when the fire was security, now it's killing me
A wolf can't hunt without its prey
So take me to my grave
The demons dance by the fireside
But tonight they migrate to my bedside
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the bed, burn everything
It's a lie anyway
[Chorus]
There's nowhere left to run
There's nowhere left for me to be
Without you by my side
[Verse 2]
I cry but if you take a closer look
You'll see it's a demon's eyes
There's no coming back for me
For my spirit guide is trapped inside my brain
I don't know who I am
In the name of the father and the holy ghost
Close your gates, lock the doors, there is no hope
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the bed, burn everything
It's a lie anyway
[Chorus]
There's nowhere left to run
There's nowhere left for me to be
Without you by my side
[Post-Chorus]
How could the world take you from me?
They all deserve to burn with me
[Bridge]
What has the world come to when a demon defiles a witch?
Nobody trusts a word I say
I can't erase these memories
But I will erase humanity
Erase humanity
[Pre-Chorus]
Burn the bed, burn everything
It's a lie anyway
[Chorus]
There's nowhere left to run
There's nowhere left for me to be
Without you by my side
[Post-Chorus]
How could the world take you from me?
They all deserve to burn with me
