There's a Demon Outside My Window
There’s a demon outside my window,
I want to let him in.
I know that if I do I lose,
But I forgot why I want to win.
The demon’s still outside my window,
Knocking, not very loud.
He smiles at me with a vicious grin,
And doesn’t make a sound.
There’s a demon opening up my window,
I think he belongs to me.
He sees me for who I am,
Not who I want to be.
My demon’s coming through the window,
I think it was unlocked.
He obviously belongs to me,
Or else he would have knocked.
He tells me now, with pushing words,
That it’s easy to take the leap.
He knows the thoughts inside my head,
The secrets that I keep.
There’s a demon in my bedroom,
He’s getting closer now.
He tells me to come with him,
And I only wish that I knew how.
My demon kneels beside me,
As if saying a prayer.
He shows me eyes that look like mine,
Full of desolation and despair.
I take the demon’s hand now,
Finding courage I used to lack.
I’m running with my demon now,
And never coming back.
