[Short piano intro]
[Verse 1]
It’s seven oh one the table’s set for two
Candles flicker shadows where I once saw you
Red wine in my glass silence in the air
But across from me there’s someone in your chair
He’s got my eyes but colder than the sea
Smiles like he’s always known the worst of me
He cuts his steak like slicing through my lies
And says you’re still pretending aren’t you nice disguise
[Pre-Chorus]
Every bite’s a memory
Every toast a tragedy
He’s whispering what I won’t say aloud
Laughing while I’m screaming in a crowd
[Chorus]
Dinner with my inner demon
Feeding all the fears I keep believin
Fork and knife he carves my doubt
Wears my skin inside and out
Truth tastes bitter, sweet delusion’s gone
But he stays long after the meal is done
This isn’t love, this isn’t healing
Just dinner with my inner demon
[Verse 2]
He pours me truth like poison in a cup
Tells me I was never good enough
He knows the menu by my broken heart
Appetizer shame, dessert fallin’ apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar’s a centerpiece
Every toast a slow release
He hums my regrets like lullabies
Dressed in charm and haunted alibis
[Chorus]
Dinner with my inner demon
Feeding all the fears I keep believin
Fork and knife he carves my doubt
Wears my skin inside and out
Truth tastes bitter, sweet delusion’s gone
But he stays long after the meal is done
No goodbye, no real freedom
Just dinner with my inner demon
[Shouted Hook]
Don’t look away
I see your shame
He knows my face
WE’RE BOTH THE SAME
[Short break]
[Rapped Bridge]
Late night cravings, I let him in
Every mirror’s cracked from where we’ve been
He drinks my hope, devours my sleep
Still I sit down like a secret I keep
[Powerpop Chorus]
Dinner with my inner demon
Say his name but I’m the one screamin
Fork and knife he carves my doubt
And I still can’t throw him out
Truth is bitter, but now I see
He’s just the darkest part of me
Can’t escape, can’t redeem him
Till I stop feeding my inner demon
[Outro]
Dinner’s over but he’s still here
Same old table, same old fear…
