[Verse 1]
Somebody get this demon out of me
It crawls up my neck at night
Everywhere I look I see dead people
But it’s all in my head
I bite my tongue till it bleeds
Try to shut the door
But the shadow in the mirror
Keeps coming back for more
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s in my chest
It’s in my bones
I hear it calling
When I’m all alone
One more breath
And I might break
I feel the walls
Begin to shake
[Chorus]
The demon taking over
(It’s taking over)
It’s making me go insane
(It’s making me)
The demon taking over
(It’s taking over)
Somebody pull me back again
Out of the fire
Out of the pain
The demon taking over
And I’m not the same
[Verse 2]
I slammed my fist into the bathroom tile
Still it laughed at me
Tried to pray with a shaking mouth
Got nothing back to me
The mirror showed a stranger face
With my bloodshot eyes
Said, “You can run, but I live in you”
Then the whole room died
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s in my chest
It’s in my bones
I hear it calling
When I’m all alone
One more breath
And I might break
I feel the walls
Begin to shake
[Chorus]
The demon taking over
(It’s taking over)
It’s making me go insane
(It’s making me)
The demon taking over
(It’s taking over)
Somebody pull me back again
Out of the fire
Out of the pain
The demon taking over
And I’m not the same
[Bridge]
If I scream, will you hear me?
If I fall, will you stay?
I’ve been fighting my reflection
Since the first lost day
Now the black goes deeper
And the dark won’t leave
If I let it in for one more second
Will there be any me?
[Final Chorus]
The demon taking over
(It’s taking over)
It’s making me go insane
(It’s making me)
The demon taking over
(It’s taking over)
Somebody pull me back again
Out of the fire
Out of the pain
The demon taking over
And I’m not the same
The demon taking over
(Somebody pull me back)
The demon taking over
(I’m slipping fast)
