[Verse 1]
Wish I could say I'm OK, just lie, smile and turn away
But the truth is my emotions are in total disarray
I front as a tough guy with a soft spot
Like I'm always up to par when really, I'm not
And times have not been easy but it doesn't fucking help
When I carry so much shit, I just wanna end myself
And I can't just put these feelings up top on a shelf
When all these recent events make my life a living hell
Feelings that I had thought I would never get back
Then a fear of failure, doubt, regret
And things that turn my vision black
Add to that the loss of my friend
Scratch that, my brother
When does thе pain end?
[Chorus]
The demon in my skin will find a way
Thе path to wreak havoc where it may
With no respite, and no means of escape
No, my mind is not a happy place
I'm trapped inside a prison that I made
Hand in hand with the demon in my skin
[Verse 2]
I'm just never confident, I've lived drowned in doubt
About everything I do, everything I put out
Does it have identity? Am I copying someone else?
Why does this sound so empty? It's not ringing any bells
And even if I sort that out, there's more I just can't shake
Like a fear, but this fear ain't a fear with a shape
I'm tormented by a sadness and a panic that won't go away
That make their way to my brain to remind me that I may
Try my hardest every day to be a better me
But I'll always go back to thinking I am weak
Do I seek help, or do I keep it in?
"Your problems are your own, figure it out"
Shit
Even to this day, I still wish I would awake
And the pain would all be gone, with my nightmares laid to waste
But I'm just a human, and I tend to forget
I subject myself to torture and I'm the only one to blame
[Chorus]
The demon in my skin will find a way
The path to wreak havoc where it may
With no respite, and no means of escape
No, my mind is not a happy place
I'm trapped inside a prison that I made
Hand in hand with the demon in my skin
[Outro]
I really wanna change, I want to improve
But I'm so used to my status quo, what's my first move?
Then I beat myself up, I'm my own worst enemy
And I fear one day this demon will become the end of me
