Releasing the Demons Lyrics

[Intro]
What do you see in the dark
When the demons come for you?

[Verse 1]
If only you could have seen
How fucked up my life used to be
Then everything starts to change
Supposedly healing my pain

[Pre-Chorus]
I never thought I'd feel this way
I never thought that I'd see a day
I'd run away from anything or anywhere or anyone
It's all these demons haunting me
It's all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin

[Chorus]
It's taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again

[Verse 2]
And now I look through my mind's eye
And see where my past needs to rest
It's always disturbed by these voices
That echo inside of my head
[Pre-Chorus]
Another way that I can hide
Another reason to crawl inside and get away
From everything and everywhere and everyone (No!)
It's all these demons haunting me
It's all these little things trapped inside of me
Releasing me from all my sin

[Chorus]
It's taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing the demons again
(Again, again, again...)

[Bridge]
Facing the days as I grow into my own
Loving and hating's the same
And, threefold, I told you
It comes back with laughter
Over and over again
It's coming back

[Chorus]
It's taken me all of my anger
And taken me all of my hate
To learn how my life came together
Releasing
Releasing the demons again
Releasing the demons again
Releasing the demons again
Releasing the demons again
Releasing the demons
