[Verse 1]
I wake up mean in my own skin
Same old fight, same war within
Cold stare in the mirror frame
Two names carved in the same pain
You say calm down, I say try me
I hear them claws at the back of my mind
Black boots, red dust on the floor
One more step and I kick that door
[Pre-Chorus]
They're at the gate
Hands on the chain
I feel the shake
I know their name
[Chorus]
Demons within
Demons within
I bite back hard
I let them spin
Demons within
Demons within
You want the truth?
I'm still in it
[Verse 2]
Got scars like maps on my ribcage
Dead-end roads and a locked-up rage
Every smile got a cracked edge
Every promise hanging off a ledge
I ran from the fire, ran from the flood
Still found the beast in my blood
Now I stand where the shadows lean
One loud breath and I break the screen
[Pre-Chorus]
They're at the gate
Hands on the chain
I feel the shake
I know their name
[Chorus]
Demons within
Demons within
I bite back hard
I let them spin
Demons within
Demons within
You want the truth?
I'm still in it
[Bridge]
If I go down, I go down loud
No more ghost in a faceless crowd
I take the hits, I wear the bruise
I make my peace with the thing I choose
(Thing I choose)
(Thing I choose)
[Final Chorus]
Demons within
Demons within
I bite back hard
I let them spin
Demons within
Demons within
You want the truth?
I'm still in it
Demons within
Demons within
I don't back off
I bare my skin
