My Demons (Poor Thing) | Kiba Snowpaw

A dark personal song about depression, anxiety, guilt, grief, and the strange comfort of thoughts that hurt you simply because they have been with you for so long. Lyrics: [Intro] You say I must have missed you. I wish that wasn't true. Some nights the empty room feels worse Than sharing it with you. [Verse 1] Nine hours on my feet again, Then keys beside the door. I should be glad the shift is done; You ask why I can't do more. I shake the frost out of my fur; Your claws slide round my chest. A hundred eyes find every flaw The second I try to rest. [Pre-Chorus] You never have to force the lock; You've been inside for years. You call it looking after me While feeding all my fears. [Chorus] My demons, my demons, You know the way back home. You make me feel less lonely By keeping me alone. “Poor thing, you must have missed me,” You whisper, soft and slow. You hold me like you love me, Then teach me not to let you go. [Verse 2] You knew me back at fifteen, Knew the nights I couldn't sleep. I thought a thing that stayed that long Was something I should keep. You take the years I cared for Dad And cut them from the frame. Leave only what I couldn't fix, Then teach my grief to sound like blame. [Pre-Chorus] You've got a way of making guilt Sound like the proof I care. As if I have to hurt this much To show the love is there. [Chorus] My demons, my demons, You know the way back home. You make me feel less lonely By keeping me alone. “Poor thing, you must have missed me,” You whisper, soft and slow. You hold me like you love me, Then teach me not to let you go. [Bridge] The worst part isn't all your teeth Or nights you won't let end. It's knowing what you're doing And still calling you a friend. I built my walls to catch my breath; You taught me never to come out. Now every hand that reaches in Gives you another thing to doubt. I don't know who I'd be without you. That fear has made me stay. I'm fucking tired of being held In ways that keep the world away. [Final Chorus] My demons, my demons, You know the way back home. You make me feel less lonely By keeping me alone. “Poor thing, you must have missed me,” You whisper, soft and low. Some part of me still wants your arms. Some part says, “Let me go.” [Outro] You're still here when the dawn comes. I still feel you in my chest. But I want more than company That never lets me rest. #KibaSnowpaw #MyDemons #FurryMusic #WolfSong #EmotionalSong #HowlStrom #DarkSong
