Didn’t know why I couldn’t fly
Didn’t want to be stuck on the ground
I wanted to soar across the sky
But something was holding me down

What had me cover in fear?
What was it I couldn’t see?
The answer near, but so unclear
I was fighting the demon in me

The demon in me
The demon in me
The battle weird, over all that I feared
I was fighting the demon in me

He fell on me when I was weak
Made me feel so lazy and dumb
He talked to me deep in my sleep
My mind and my soul overcome

I started to just let him win
I decided to just let it be
It was up to me not to give in
I was trapped by the demon in me

The demon in me
The demon in me
My head in a spin, my strength wearing thin
I was trapped by the demon in me

Asked myself, what did I want?
Kick back or just go for broke?
My dreams continued to haunt
I’d get close – then the demon said choke

Somehow you gotta step up
Stop buying excuses for free
So I went face-to-face, laid claim to my space
And rocked the demon…

The demon in me
The demon in me
I recovered my spark, got free of the dark
And I rocked the demon in me
The demon in me
I rocked the demon in me
