[Verse 1]
They crawl out
From the cracks in my closet
Every doubt
Got a barcode across it
Cheap thrills
But they bill me in blood
Tongue sharp
And they’re calling me “love”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I say “I’m okay”
They circle like they smell the vein
They want all the color
All the glow
I feel the pressure when they close in slow
[Chorus]
These demons keep sinking their teeth in my skin
I’m kicking
I’m screaming
I’m not giving in (not giving in)
Tear at my bones but I’m stronger within
They’re feeding on fear but I’m starving their sin
These demons keep sinking their teeth in my skin
[Verse 2]
They dance
In the dust of my failures
Tight pants
And a halo of vapors
They laugh
When I choke on my pride
Black ink
Writing “quit” in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time I stand
They shove
Twist my mirror into mud
But I’m loading every breath like a gun
Their little kingdom ’bout to come undone
[Chorus]
These demons keep sinking their teeth in my skin
I’m kicking
I’m screaming
I’m not giving in
Tear at my bones but I’m stronger within
They’re feeding on fear but I’m starving their sin
These demons keep sinking their teeth in my skin
[Bridge]
[half-time groove
Low vocal register]
Bite down
I bite back
You want a taste? Have a panic attack
You like me weak
On my knees
On repeat
But I’m done being prey to the things that I think
[build]
Rip your fangs out
Name by name
Drag you screaming
Into flame
Every scar you wrote on me
Spells “set me free”
[Chorus]
These demons keep sinking their teeth in my skin
I’m kicking
I’m screaming
I’m not giving in
Tear at my bones but I’m stronger within
They’re feeding on fear but I’m starving their sin
These demons keep sinking their teeth in my skin
