Gloria Deluxe - Outrun Your Demons lyrics

I tried to outrun my demons, But they snuck around the back way and headed me off at the curve In a fierce ambush I may as well have balanced a bucket of water on the head of a pin Because to shed your demons you'd have to shed your own skin So if there's a way out of my skin I'd like to know just what it is I want a new language and a new tongue, a new strategy Cuz I tried to outrun my demons It was like trying to catch a dark cloud with a bu*terfly net It was like trying to walk across freshly fallen snow without leaving tracks Cuz the past has a way of coming back So I'm gonna get to know these little demons So I can know where they end and I begin I'm gonna peel back that fine line That divides me from my mind If there's a way out of my skin I'd like to know just what it is I want a new language and a new tongue, a new strategy
