Releasing the Demons
I want to scream
But I’m down to my last breath
I want to cry
But I fear my death
But today I will be silent
And hold it all in
And let the demons subside
Within me again
I want to shout
But I’m down to my last breath
I want to laugh
In the face of death
But today I will be silent
And hold it all in
And let the demons subside
Within me again
Tomorrow I will do it
Take a deep breath
Scream and cry
Without fear of death
Release all my demons
For all the world to see
Let them all out
Before they kill me
But today I will be silent
And hold it all in
And let the demons subside
Within me again.
