This is the life of a woman with demons
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
This is my life, this is my life
What a life
Life isnât precious and life isnât sacred
Sometimes release only comes when you meet death
A night of reprieve we were wrecked
when we slept in the park
When we woke in the morning you cried
could I squeeze out the dark
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and Iâll take your demons
now that Iâm already dead
[same as verse above]
Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldnât get her
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off
Last night alive is a nightmare Iâm part of
Dreams are a lie, dreams are a lie
So am I
If thatâs all there is then I might as well get in the fire
[same as chorus]
Destroy the noises that make all the voices
Get them out of my head
Bring on the screaming and Iâll take your demons now that Iâm already dead
Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Shining before like the day
I stand before them and cried that youâre dying your way
Iâm still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one
