Demons

It's not enough to feel it
it needs to overwhelm you
you need for them to blind you and you would
shoot the tin man in his heart
but i would be the bait
I would pose as pious for you
keep compressing eyes
from anything you fumble and blow
a smoke screen when you go
I was happy but now I'm leaving
here's the rest of my beer
going home with my demons

you said your husband is gone
so hide your harmful hand
i didn't mean anything I just wrote it all down to sing
about it later on
i've got a knuckle through the wall
and a hand in your skirt
you could ask me again it might even get worse
as this wreck becomes a path to my past
i was happy but now I'm leaving
here's the rest of my beer
I'm going home with my demons
(instrument break)
i was happy but now I'm leaving
here's the rest of my beer
I'm going home with my demons
I'm reviewing all these notes
and i've rifled these possessions
it's the first it's most notable
what somebody told you in response???
i was happy but now I'm leaving
here's the rest of my beer i'm leaving
I'm going home
going home with my demons
