DEMONSKIN

I stopped runnin’ from the shadows…

Now they ride with me…

Heh…

They ain’t haunt me anymore…

They became me…

⸻

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

⸻

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

⸻

Hear ‘em crawl through the walls again…

But they sound like brothers now…

Not enemies…

⸻

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

⸻

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”

⸻

LET ‘EM IN

LET ‘EM FEED

LET THE DARKNESS ROOT LIKE WEEDS

NO MORE RUN

NO MORE FEAR

THE DEVIL SOUND REAL CRYSTAL CLEAR

⸻

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

⸻

You call ‘em demons…

I call ‘em family…

And they never left me alone…
