You could never really win
Not to say you're born to lose
You were born to take tenth place out of twenty in a field
Mistakes flow through your veins in mediocre ways
Your life's a living hell
You got gremlins in your blood cells and monsters in your bed
They're haunting you again
Oh, but it must be this place, at least that's what you say, say, say
You don't love you anymore, cast your demons aside
Keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore, cast your demons aside
Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
A fire used to burn in your heart and in your eyes
You used to dream, you used to care, you used to love
You used to fight for anything at all
You cover up your bedroom walls with who you want to be
Now you're afraid to be yourself
And you search for months for something else
You read magazines and watch MTV, you practiced it and everything
Oh, you're dressed to impress but you look like a drag queen
You don't love you anymore, cast your demons aside
Keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore, cast your demons aside
Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
So keep your head up high, stretch inches into miles
Because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day
Focus on the important things and be your own God
Like every ghost that held you down was gone
Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
You don't love you anymore, cast your demons aside
Keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from
Soon you won't feel this anymore, cast your demons aside
Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
