Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Demons, demons, demons— That’s what they all say When I tell them I’m not okay. But do they even know what that means? Silence that screams in my ears? They think it’s just anger or stress, They don’t see the scars I carry deep, Not just the ones you can see. [Pre-Chorus] “Get some air,” they tell me— Like it’s that simple. But their words make the numbness Ten times worse. No, they don’t get it. I’m not fighting demons. I’m fighting the devil himself. [Chorus] The devil pulls the strings on my puppet smile. He makes me fit in, play the role awhile. But behind these doors I’m lying in bed Wondering if I should grab that razor again. [Verse 2] No, really—it’s the devil Whispering lies like lullabies. No, really—it’s the devil Telling me no one would care if I died. No, really—it’s the devil Making me doubt every laugh, every friend. He’s there when the night comes Saying it’s easier to just end. [Bridge] There’s me—fighting for life, Thinking maybe I’m strong enough. But one bad look from someone One careless phrase And I’m dangling over the edge again. He’s there, waiting to drag me down. [Chorus] The devil pulls the strings on my puppet smile. He teaches me to nod and lie in style. But alone I’m shaking, My mind breaking, Wondering if the blade will make it quiet. [Verse 3] No, really—it’s the devil That makes me rehearse my goodbye. No, really—it’s the devil Saying don’t even bother to try. No, really—it’s the devil Turning my hope into rust. Telling me no one would notice If I turned to dust. [Bridge 2] They don’t see the battle raging inside. They don’t hear the screaming silence. I’m clawing at walls in my head Hoping someone might notice before it’s too late. [Final Chorus / Outro] The devil pulls the strings on my puppet grin. He knows how to make me perform and spin. But behind it all I’m cold and small Wondering if tomorrow is even worth it at all. No, really—it’s the devil. No, really—it’s the devil. No, really—it’s the devil I’m fighting.
