Demons

When I think of you in the city
The sight of you among the sites
I get this sudden sinking feeling
Of a man about to fly
Never kept me up before
Now I've been awake for days
I can't fight it anymore
I'm going through an awkward phase
I am secretly in love with,
Everyone that I grew up with
Do not cry in underwater
I can't get down any farther
All my drowning friends can see
Now there is no running from it
It's become my cross of me
I wish that I could rise above it
But I stay down, with my demons
I stay down, with my demons
Passing buzzards in the sky, aligators in the sewers
I don't even wonder why, I hide among the other viewers
Huddle with them all night long
The worried talk to god goes on
I sincerely tried to love it
Wish that I could rise above it
But I stay down, with my demons
I stay down, with my demons
But I stay down, with my demons
I stay down, with my demons
Can I stay here? I can sleep on the floor
Paint the blood and hang the palms, on the door
Do not think I'm going places anymore
Wanna see the sun come up above New York
Whoa, everyday I start so great
Then the sunlight dips, less I've learned
The more I see the pythons and the lams
Do not know what's wrong with me
Sours in the cup
But when I walk into the room
I do not light it up, fight
But I stay down, with my demons
I stay down, with my demons
But I stay down, with my demons
I stay down, with my demons.
