lyrics

Sit down to write
About how I feel
But fear if I say it
It'll become more real

Can't tell my friends
Or I'll be a burden
If they know my struggle
I feel they'll determine

That I'm as big a fraud as I feel
And that their perception isn't so real
So I wear my burden under my skin
And sometimes, sometimes my demons win

Can't talk to my family
They wouldn't get it
Tell me It wins only
Because I let it

Then they'd talk about me
And what might have been
Treating my pain like
Unspeakable sin

So I make jokes to lessen the blow
Hide myself in this smile I've learned to sew
Across my lips so no one gets in
And sometimes, sometimes my demons win

Today I'm OK,
Can't speak for tomorrow;
Never can tell
What's going to follow;
Feel dumb for complaining,
When some have it worse
Small blessing I guess,
To this fucking curse

I sat down to write how I feel
Wish that I hadn't - just made it more real
The mask is still there, but it's wearing thin
And sometimes, sometimes my demons win
Yeah sometimes, sometimes my demons win
