Demons

You've laid down the weapons
You still spread the disease
And now you make commitments
You couldn't possibly keep
You love playing the victim
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
Shake off the demons left in your mind
You take them everywhere

Last year you stole it
Was broken [?]
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
