Lyrics

First they came when I was four
With claws that scratched upon the door
And creeping silently inside
They preyed upon a growing mind
I recall when I was young
I feared I’d never see the sun
So in the dark I’d hide away
Trembling when the demons came
The growing pains of teenage years
Accentuated ingrained fears
From high to low and back in line
They'd lay in wait, biding time
And I have found with much endured
That their summoning cannot be cured
And so I seek for paths to run
Every time the demons come
Decisions made, they make no sense
And offer little in defense
But now I know what must be done
To save you when the demons come
Who will comfort, hold my hand?
Who will ever understand
The broken train-wreck I become
Every time the demons come?
The tolerance I’d never rate
Will manifest in scorn and hate
And down, deep down, when first they stir
They plot and scheme and plan things like a saboteur
And friends I thought held me so dear
Oh how they quickly disappear
In floods of tears away they run
In terror when the demons come
This summer of my discontent
I wonder at the effort spent
In making good the damage done
Forgive me when the demons come
