Bayside - Demons lyrics

[Verse 1: Anthony Raneri] You could never really win Not to say you were born to lose You were born to take tenth place Out of twenty in a field Mistakes flow through your veins In a mediocre way Your life's a living hell You've got gremlins in your blood cells And monsters in your bed They're haunting you again Oh, but it must be this place At least that's what you say, say, say [Chorus: Anthony Raneri] You don't love you anymore Cast your demons aside Keep them close enough to know what you're running from Soon you won't feel this anymore Cast your demons aside Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on [Verse 2: Anthony Raneri] A fire used to burn In your heart and in your eyes You used to dream, you used to care You used to love, you used to fight For anything at all You'd cover up your bedroom walls with who you want to be Now you're afraid to be yourself So you search the malls for something else You read magazine and watch MTV You've practiced it, and everything Oh, you're dressed to impress But you look like a drag queen [Chorus] [Verse 3: Anthony Raneri] So keep your head up high Stretch inches into miles Because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day Focus on important things Be your own god Like every ghost that held you down was gone Keep them close enough to know that you're moving on [Chorus]
