Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lookin' out my narrow window, I'll tell you what I see
The pitbulls are on the streets, they're closin' in on me
Could it be this paranoia keepin' me intact?
Lock the door and load my gun, this time I'm fightin' back
[Verse 2]
So take a look across your desk, you tell me why I'm here
You been makin' all that money, preyin' on the fear
I can see your demon eyes, the target has been set
Take a shot for old times sake, you've done no damage yet
[Verse 3]
The way you smile all the time, crooked badge, you're spittin' lies
I'm alone in my home, my only friend
[Verse 4]
I tried to look you in the eye, I tried to tell you I'm alive
I tried, I tried to tell you
Well, there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
I'm terrified what I might find, what you hide behind
Those demon eyes
[Verse 5]
Why'd you take the time you're takin' to undermine my name?
Does it help you sleep at night to play that righteous game?
Why'd you say those things you said, words that you don't mean?
Two faces, tellin' lies, tellin' lies to me
[Verse 6]
The way you smile all the time, crooked badge, you're spittin' lies
I'm alone in my home, you'll bury me
[Verse 7]
I tried to look you in the eye, I tried to tell you I'm alive
I tried, I tried to tell you that
Well, there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
I'm so terrified what I might find, what you hide behind
Those demon eyes, yeah
[Verse 8]
You love to look me in the eye and tell me you're alive
You love to look me in the eye and tell me you're alive
You love, you love to look me in the eye and tell me you're alive
You love, you love to look me in the eye and tell me you're alive
[Verse 9]
You love to look me in the eye and tell me you're alive
You've got the demon eyes
You love to look me in the eye and tell me you're alive
You've got the demon eyes
Oh, ooh yeah
You gotta know I tried, you gotta know why
[Verse 10]
I tried, I tried to look you in the eye and tell you I'm alive
I tried, I tried to tell you
Well, there's just no medicine for those lies of mine
Still terrified what I might find what you hide behind
Those demon eyes
