[INTRO — whispered]
I stopped runnin’ from the shadows…
Now they ride with me…
Heh…
They ain’t haunt me anymore…
They became me…
⸻
[HOOK]
I made friends with the demons in my head tonight
Sat down with the pain in the dead moonlight
Now they whisper every move when I grip that mic
Black blood in my veins and it feels so right
I let ‘em inside, now they part of my soul
Cold black heart and it swallowed me whole
Every scar got a name carved deep in my bones
Now the monsters I feared got a permanent home
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Late-night walk with the reaper grin
Rain hit hard while the bass cave in
Everybody tryna act like saints
But I seen real evil underneath they skin
Mine had teeth and a voice so low
Told me “feed me all the hurt you know”
So I gave it every broken thought
Every damn time my chest got cold
Used to fight ‘em when the room went black
Now I light cigarettes and laugh
Demons sit in the backseat vibin’
While the subwoofers crack the dash
I don’t pray no more, I converse
Turn trauma and rage into every verse
If pain’s a curse then I made it work
Now the darkness feel like home on earth
⸻
[PRE-HOOK]
Hear ‘em crawl through the walls again…
But they sound like brothers now…
Not enemies…
⸻
[HOOK]
I made friends with the demons in my head tonight
Sat down with the pain in the dead moonlight
Now they whisper every move when I grip that mic
Black blood in my veins and it feels so right
I let ‘em inside, now they part of my soul
Cold black heart and it swallowed me whole
Every scar got a name carved deep in my bones
Now the monsters I feared got a permanent home
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Raspy voice from the smoke I breathe
Got hellhound eyes when I barely sleep
I hear claws drag down the hallway floor
But they only show love to me
They said “people leave when the lights burn low”
“Pain stays loyal, don’t let it go”
So I tattooed grief in my skin like ink
Now my whole damn body wearin’ crows
Friends turned fake, love turned rot
Trust got buried in a grave I dug
Only thing that stayed was the voices
Now we all get high off the same damn drugs
They don’t want peace, they feed on ache
Every heartbreak make the bassline shake
And the more I bleed, the more they grin
Like “welcome home, now let us in”
⸻
[BREAKDOWN — distorted / screamed]
LET ‘EM IN
LET ‘EM FEED
LET THE DARKNESS ROOT LIKE WEEDS
NO MORE RUN
NO MORE FEAR
THE DEVIL SOUND REAL CRYSTAL CLEAR
⸻
[FINAL HOOK — louder / more aggressive]
I made friends with the demons in my head tonight
Sat down with the pain in the dead moonlight
Now they whisper every move when I grip that mic
Black blood in my veins and it feels so right
I let ‘em inside, now they part of my soul
Cold black heart and it swallowed me whole
Every scar got a name carved deep in my bones
Now the monsters I feared got a permanent home
⸻
[OUTRO — fading static]
You call ‘em demons…
I call ‘em family…
And they never left me alone…
