I Wish I Were a Demon Lyrics

I wish I were a demon, cause' I'm tired of being human

They just sit around and watch you while you're sleeping

They don't have that voice in their head saying, "you're better off dead"

Why can't my demons go away?

I wish I were a demon

Cause' I'm tired of being restless

If I'm not perfect, guess that means I'm worthless

I'd fix the problems in my life, but I'm the one holding the knife

Why can't my demons go away?

Red eyes and glistening fangs, can you take the pain away?

I'm trapped inside my prison of a brain

I'd rather be feared than be scared, I'm being torn apart again

Cause' I've got these demons in my head

Red eyes and glistening fangs, can you take the pain away?

I'm trapped inside my prison of a brain

I'd rather be feared than be scared, I'm being torn apart again

Cause' I've got these demons in my head

All I ever wanted was to escape from here

Can't tell which thoughts are my own, and which ones were placed there

I'm trapped inside a nightmare, and I'm forever asleep

Without someone to wake me

I wish I were a demon, cause' I'm losing my goddamn mind

I've been wasting time thinking things will be just fine

There's no off switch for my brain, and it's driving me insane

Why can't my demons go away?

And if I were a demon, would my demons go away?

If I were a demon, would my demons go away?
