The Dear Hunter - Old Demons lyrics

Apathy was a game I never played
'Cause agony is a feeling
I've been steeped in slow
Swapping all my smiles for a scowl
And sheltering my shortcomings from
Every prying eye

But, I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt

I won't be satisfied 'til
The saccharine faces fade
Making a mockery of mythologies
And tried traditions
For I was blind, now I can see
Every obstacle through soliloquy clears it's
Path in front of me

But, I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt

And if I suddenly sink into a cowardly drink
To drown out the swarm
Of the hive-minded bees
Strike the spirit's from my rigid
Lips and pull me out
The tide all tumbling in

But, I'm letting the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
Every painful plea aloud
Kicking the old demons out
Bringing down the walls around
All the denial and the doubt
