The Demons Wants Out – Epic Dark Fantasy Alt Rock

THE DEMON WITHIN [Verse 1] Still remember that cold night, Mother crying under fading light. Father's hands, another scar, Watching helpless from afar. So I found things I could hold, Little treasures worth more than gold. If the world was cruel and cold, Something precious could still be held. But everything was torn apart, Every treasure, every little spark. Every time something became mine, Those hands would come and cross the line. [Pre-Chorus] Then someone came into my life, A little warmth against the knife. White hair shining, pointed ears, A gentle smile that conquered fears. A grimoire placed within my hands, A precious gift I could understand. For once, something felt safe to keep, A promise buried somewhere deep. [Chorus] There's a demon living inside, Born from every tear I had to hide. Every wound, every broken thing, Became the darkness underneath. All I wanted was to protect, But someone always came to wreck. And when they tore the last page free, Something ancient woke in me. [Verse 2] Watched those pages hit the floor, Just like everything I'd lost before. Father laughing as the binding broke, Something inside finally awoke. Piece by piece, the book was gone, Another thing to mourn and move on. But this time, no tears would fall, No trembling hands, no fear at all. Silence settled in my chest, All the pain refused to rest. Years of anger, buried deep, Rose from where the wounds would sleep. [Pre-Chorus] Hatred running through my veins, Rage awakening from the pain. Every scar became a flame, Every loss became a name. [Chorus] There's a demon living inside, Born from every tear I had to hide. Every wound, every broken thing, Became the darkness underneath. All I wanted was to protect, But someone always came to wreck. And when they tore the last page free, Something ancient woke in me. [Bridge] Not a curse from the sky above, Not a beast created without love. Just every scream that stayed unheard, Every cruel and empty word. Every blow, every cry, Every dream that had to die. Every treasure ripped away, Every promise that couldn't stay. Until this heart became a cage, And childhood turned into rage. Where fear once begged to survive, Something darker came alive. [Breakdown] Enough... No more losing. No more pain. No more watching everything fade away. Touch what I love, tear it apart, And you'll awaken the beast in my heart. [Final Chorus] There's a demon living inside, Fed by everything I couldn't save. Pain and hatred, side by side, Buried deep beneath the rage. Never wanted love to become a weapon, Never wanted darkness in my soul. But when protecting means destroying, Something broken takes control. Now whenever something precious stands beneath the threat of being torn, Deep inside this shattered heart, The demon opens its eyes once more. [Outro] Maybe demons aren't born from evil... Maybe they are born from pain. When suffering finds a heart to inhabit, It learns to fight... And it learns your name.
