Come, my demons, gather round

The devil laughs, the truth is found

One more time I want to sing

Of all the wrong my past did bring

 

You held my head under water

I was gasping then but now I know to hold

My breath, keep up the fight

I was weak then, but now I am strong

 

I was afraid of your changing moods

Was afraid of the darkness dripping on the kitchen floor

Soaking my soul

I was timid then, but now I am bold

 

And I were then, but I am now

I don't believe you tried promising you would change

But I've escaped the dark

And I'm out of your reach

 

I'm brave though you scared me to death

I am strong though you crippled me to the bone

I'm proud though you taught me to crouch

I am beautiful inspite of it all

 

All those visions of impending doom

It took me years to rid my head of this hell again

Lying awake trying to think of what to say on judgement day

 

No-one would guess what tangled mess I had to put through

Tell me who could weigh the pain I've been feeding off

All that rage piling up in my chest

Keeping me upright, keeping me alive

It's because of you, I think of you

Calling a curse on you
