FACE YOUR DEMONS Lyrics

I went in head first

Never thinking about who, what I said, hurt, in what verse

My mom probably got it the worst

The brunt of it, but her stubbornness beat

Aw, did I take it too far

Cleaning out my closet and all them other songs

But regardless, I don't hate you

Cause mom, you're still beautiful to me

Cause you're my ma, though far be it from you to be calm

My house was Vietnam, desert storm

And both of us put together could form an atomic bomb

Equivalent to chemical warfare

And forever we could drag this on and on but

Agree to disagree

That gift from me, a part of the Christmas tree, don't mean shit to me

You're kicking me out, you're switching degrees

And it's Christmas Eve, little picture's neat

Mom, let me grab my fucking coat

Anything to have each other's coats

Why we always at each other's throats

Especially when dad, he fucked us both

We're in the same fucking boat

You'd think that'd make us close

Further away, it drove us

But together, headlights shine and car full of belongings

Still got a ways to go

Like the grandma's house, it's straight up the road

And I was the man of the house, the oldest

So my shoulders carried the weight of the load

And the place you need to reach

Don't you ever take me, demon

Always keep the moon elite

I wish you the best but

I'm not interested

In giving you more of my life

I've already given you too much

I don't wanna lose you

I don't wanna keep you

I know that you mean well

But when I fail, I don't need you

Rubbing my face in it and

Treating me like I'm less than you

Tell the truth, you know I'd be better without you

Been in your shoes, don't be a fool

And try to convince me that I'm the real issue

When you're the root to every problem

I love you but not enough to allow you to

Continue to drown or both of us

You're holding me back, you're pulling me down

You're making me hate myself

I don't wanna leave but that's what I need

I ain't got a choice, I can't just

Let you deceive and make you believe

That I don't deserve to be loved

I, I'm not gonna stand aside

And watch you attempt to rob and steal and sabotage

With little faith I left your heaven

I sacrificed enough for you

Hate seeing you cry but I think it's time

To let go and say goodbyes

I'm gonna miss you but I

Am not gonna spend the rest of my life running

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to be

Don't you ever say me a demon

Always keep a demon mean

When I was a man I thought it ended

When I knew love's perfect cake

But not peace is always defended

On all the ashes in my wake

All you have is your fire

And the place you need to be

Don't you ever say me a demon

Always keep a woman mean

All you have is your fire
