Demons

The pain is too much to bear, my life's defined by despair
The gossip leaks, the demons speak to me
And I'll admit I'm afraid, but it's not for my own sake
My clock counts down, I'll kill this town, you see?
That I'm not afraid of you, or the shit you put my through
Well, I wish you'd lose your hate before my demon escapes
Your grip on your grudge is tight, I only want peace tonight
But you won't let yourself forget what's done
I only desire peace, but all this hate is released
Directed towards me but what for, I run
That I'm not afraid of you, or the shit you put my through
Well, I wish you'd lose your hate before my demon escapes
'Cause I'm still afraid of pain, in my body and my brain
Sometimes I wish that when I was young
I would've pulled that trigger on that gun
Well, I have suffered so
Hoping you'd let it go
But now I thirst for peace
I suffered in vain, I can't escape
Which will stop first, my heartbeat or my thirst?
That I'm not afraid of you, or the shit you put my through
Well, I wish you'd lose your hate before my demon escapes
Am I threatened or a threat? It's not been discovered yet
So why don't we play it safe, and let love overcome hate
