Lyrics Don't Forget Your Demons - Shius

There are demons in masks, ghosts that haunt my dreams
My sanity is in pieces as they break my seams

There are demons in masks, ghosts that haunt my head
I wanted peace but when I woke up they chose violence instead
There's a dog on the floor, and when she opens her maw
I never know if its her blood that spills from open jaws
There's a horror in silence, terror when those voices speak
And when I look at the ground, my mangled body's all I see
"Hurt yourself" they will tell me, "There is nothing left to lose"
And when I open these eyes, pain still obscures my view

Don't forget your demons
Don't forget your ghosts
In a world where we are damned to live
They are all that keep you tethered to yourself
And when the sun sets the demons arise
There's only so much you can do
Kill time but know that the ghosts have arrived
Linger on a past that will kill you

All these dreams and all these fears, they mingle on
All the nightmares, all the tears, they keep me here
When the sun retreats, the horizon I see is only bleak
There's only me, only me and my demons left to feed
On this miserable vessel, that I know as myself
Prepare the meat, through the fires of hell
There was an angel but I shot him, when I heard his yell for help
I never wanted to lie, I never wanted you to die
But with these voices in my head, it feels I've got nothing left
Hurt others, hurt yourself, outcomes never change
In my pain and confusion, I forced aggression on myself

Don't forget your demons
Don't forget your ghosts
In a world where we are damned to live
They are all that keep you tethered to yourself
And when the sun sets the demons arise
There's only so much you can do
Kill time but know that the ghosts have arrived
Linger on a past that will kill you
Linger on a past that will kill you
Linger on a past that will make you

How many times will I make myself bleed
In this everlasting darkness I will make myself see
There is a light, a shining star, illuminates my path
And as I walk I begin to think, the pain that I've come to pass
I will deal with guilt for the rest of my life
I will deal with pain, for as long as it takes
Before I meet my maker, I will swear on my life
That I won't let these demons, get the best of me
Sing a song of hope, but don't forget your demons
It's the pain that makes you human, though you won't admit
There's a life in the ashes, where the pheonix lays
There is hope in its fire, and the dust that remains

Don't forget your demons
Don't forget your ghosts
In a world where we are damned to live
They are all that keep you tethered to yourself
And when the sun sets the demons arise
There's only so much you can do
Kill time but know that the ghosts have arrived
Linger on a past that will kill you

And there are demons in masks, ghosts that haunt my dreams
My sanity is in pieces as they break my seams
But here I stand in the fire, where they try to break me
I have never given up, and they can never change me
