lyrics

Lyrics:

Chase your demons away (4x)

Slowly it is takin’ over me
But I say no-no (2x)

Some fight the system, I fought myself
Guess that’s cos of what I was taught
By the movies, by the ads, magazines, by the
Screens, by the scene, every book on the shelf

And now I stop, consciously
And now I’m proud, consciously
And I know I’ll have to stop again
But then I know I’ll pick it up again

It is so hard when everything’s a question
And they lead to zero ends
Yeah, instead of the end I will chose
A life of love I wanna spend

Kiss me on my lips, look into my eyes
I have learned so much through you
The biggest gift I can give is my joy
I was dead, but I feel something true

Chase your demons away (4x)

You don’t wanna climb up the hill (too steep)
You don’t wanna swim in the lake (too deep)
You could make a fire (too much work)
Join the conversation (you lurk)

You don’t wanna breathe the air (too dirty)
You don’t wanna let love in (too hurty)
You don’t understand what they are sayin’ (too loud)
You could listen, yet you don’t (too proud)

And I start to criticize my thoughts before they even begin
It takes a wizard of words to let the soothing dreams sink in
I am yours, darkness, take me away, I think when I go to sleep
But I will let love reign once more, and my flame of resistance I always keep

That’s why I rise to the heights of my life, my spirits remind me of who I am
I can take all this shit and more, I will show you how proudly and tall I stand
People hear me and see me up high, they don’t know how low I can sink
But it’s a cycle, so I drown and I swim
At some point I will die, but until then I can win

Slowly it is takin’ over me
But I say no-no (2x)
