demons in the backseat

(distorted whispers)

Yeah…

Ayy…

Can’t sleep…

Demons in the walls again…

⸻

I been fightin’ demons in the dark all night,

Red eyes glow when I’m ridin’ through the city lights,

Heart too cold, got rage in my bloodstream,

Voices in my head scream louder than my dreams.

I been losin’ sleep, tryna keep my soul clean,

But the devil keep knockin’, say he know me,

Scarred up heart, but I still don’t bleed,

Everybody wanna talk — they don’t know me.

⸻

I got pain in my lungs when I breathe now,

Everybody switched up when I need ‘em now,

Walk around with the shadows like a rebound,

Whole squad gone silent when the heat out.

Backseat ridin’ with anxiety,

Bottle half empty beside of me,

Mirror cracked — I don’t like what I see,

Old me dead, ain’t no revivin’ me.

Mama said pray but the sky stayed black,

I gave my heart out and I can’t take back,

All these scars underneath this mask,

Smile real big while I hide these facts.

⸻

And I still hear screams in the midnight,

Still got ghosts tryna kill my vibe,

Still got hate buried deep inside,

But I won’t let the darkness win tonight.

⸻

I been fightin’ demons in the dark all night,

Red eyes glow when I’m ridin’ through the city lights,

Heart too cold, got rage in my bloodstream,

Voices in my head scream louder than my dreams.

I been losin’ sleep, tryna keep my soul clean,

But the devil keep knockin’, say he know me,

Scarred up heart, but I still don’t bleed,

Everybody wanna talk — they don’t know me.

⸻

Rage mode — black hoodie and some combat boots,

Angels left quick when the trauma grew,

Now I move fast with a damaged soul,

Eyes so dark got that “don’t come close.”

I done seen pain make the strong ones fold,

Seen fake love turn hearts so cold,

Now I keep fire in my bloodstream,

Turn nightmares into big dreams.

Heavy bass shake when I walk inside,

Everybody stare ‘cause the aura wild,

They don’t know I been barely alive,

Just survivin’ all this war inside.

⸻

Demons keep talkin’ — I don’t answer now,

Built from the ashes, I’m dangerous now,

If I fall down, I still stand my ground,

Screamin’ real loud till the walls shake down.

⸻

I been fightin’ demons in the dark all night,

Blood moon high while I’m grippin’ my life,

Rage in my chest, got smoke in my veins,

Still stand tall through the thunder and rain.

I been fightin’ demons — I won’t run away,

Every scar on me made me this way,

Broken soul but I still got flame,

Tell the devil himself — remember my name.
