If I Need Demons
Confronting Shadows: If I Need Demons by Rough Cats Unveiled
Lyrics
Been so tired so long
Feeling exhausted for a prolonged period
I've been just holding on
Holding on despite challenges
I've been kicked from inside to out
Experiencing internal and external struggles
Somehow that whimpering screams so damned loud
The internal turmoil is painfully evident
That I cry, cry
Expressing deep emotional pain through crying
If I need demons you'll be first to know
Willingness to confront personal demons
I'd rather spend time on my own
Prefer solitude over dealing with inner demons
If I need demons to look through my eyes
Openness to having demons examine one's perspective
Then I've got to think, I'd rather die
Contemplating death over facing inner demons
Since the world began
Reflecting on the history of the world
I don't know what's gone down
Uncertainty about recent events
I don't know anything 'bout anything no more
Losing understanding and knowledge
Voices starting talking 'bout wanting control
External influences expressing desire for control
In my head, head
Mental struggle with conflicting voices
If I need demons you'll be first to know
Willingness to share inner struggles with others
I'd rather spend time on my own
Preference for personal solitude over external support
If I need demons to look through my eyes
Considering the impact of inner demons on perception
Then I've got to think, I'd rather die
Extreme reluctance to confront inner demons
There are times I'm liking what it does to me
Acknowledging positive effects of inner demons at times
There are times when it's worth not getting to sleep
Valuing experiences even if they disrupt sleep
There's time
Recognition of the passing of time
Dare not close my eyes
Fear of facing the unsettling truth
There the misplaced reside
Mention of a place where discomfort resides
Voices are speaking and I'm speaking voices
Inner and outer voices contributing to confusion
Can't get my thoughts straight, nothing but noise
Struggling with disorganized and noisy thoughts
Every night, night
Repetition of nightly mental challenges
