[Verse 1]
Woke up with a war in my ribs
Teeth in my thoughts, they bite when I slip
Shadow in the mirror keep mockin' my name
Says, "You and me the same, we the spark and the flame"
Yeah
Talkin' to myself in the glass
"Why you always runnin' from the cracks in your past?"
Heart on alert, mind on attack
Angel on my shoulder but he never calls back
[Chorus]
I’ve been dancin’ with my demons (hey!)
Two-step with the voices in my head
We go round and round this ceiling
Till the darkness turnin' blue and red
I’ve been dancin’ with my demons
They spin me, then they drag me to the deep
But I lead ’em, I don’t need ’em
I make ’em move to the beat, to the beat
[Verse 2]
Yeah, they love it when I’m losin’ my grip
Slide in my ear, "Let it all just slip"
Told ’em, "If you wanna stay, gotta pay that rent"
So I charge ’em every secret that I never once spent
Step back
See ’em flicker in the strobe of my pain
Every bad memory, every old stain
Turn fear into fuel when it squeezes my lungs
Put the hurt in a verse, let it bleed off my tongue (uh)
[Chorus]
I’ve been dancin’ with my demons (whoa)
Two-step with the voices in my head
We go round and round this ceiling
Till the darkness turnin' blue and red
I’ve been dancin’ with my demons
They spin me, then they drag me to the deep
But I lead ’em, I don’t need ’em
I make ’em move to the beat, to the beat
[Bridge]
Hands up
Every scar that you hide, let it shine in the light
Hands up
If your monsters only move when you move in the night
Hands up
We gon’ turn this fear into a stage, into fire
Hands up
Let your demons be the choir
[Chorus]
I’ve been dancin’ with my demons (yeah)
Two-step with the voices in my head
We go round and round this ceiling
Till the darkness turnin' blue and red
I’ve been dancin’ with my demons
They spin me, then they drag me to the deep
But I lead ’em, I don’t need ’em
I make ’em move to the beat, to the beat
