City Mouth Every Single Word

https://citymouthil.bandcamp.com/ • So there's a monster • on each one of my shoulders • sometimes they hide in the closet • sometimes they're under my bed • when they come out to play • they tell me to throw it all away • sink down deep and hit rock bottom • that's where I'd end up anyway • they come at night when I'm at my lowest • when I'm awake and nobody's around • they take hold of my vulnerability • you can bet they bring me down • but what scares me is • I believe every single word that leaves their mouths • I'm a train-wreck kid • and you just can't bear to look away from this • so I'll put on a show • keep my demons entertained with words and notes • 'cause you know • all my best defenses lie inside my throat • Sometimes it feels like I'm the monster • with the way that I'm constantly scaring myself • why does failure seem so close? • and I can't even lift these feet to run the other way • or simply heed my mother's warnings • 'cause her son's mind is storming • with words and ideas, and not a single one • involves a shred of self control • all he can feel is this pull • towards his dreams, but do they have to be so far? • it makes me feel like giving in • but there's nowhere to fall and no way to win • so I'll just make friends with the voice in my head • and keep doing this dance till it leaves me dead • Don't believe any little word that leaves my mouth • I'm a train-wreck kid • and you just can't bear to look away from this • so I'll put on a show • keep my demons entertained with words and notes • 'cause you know • all my best defenses lie inside my throat • When I'm awake at night, • I pray that I can somehow see a day • when all my fears leave me • I can't dream of any other thing • 'cause I'm so in love with the thought of loving life • but all the monsters in my head • have got me looking past the thought • that this is what I always wanted, isn't it? • This is what I always wanted, isn't it? • (Tonight, the air burns bright • with the fires of a million cigarettes • Their ashes fall, and so I rise up from them • I'm rising up again)
