demons

He's just a boy
But inside him lives the beasts of ancient history
Now that's quite a cross to bear
She's just a girl
Dragging a suitcase full of her great-grandfather's misery
But she doesn't know that she's the heir

Hi
I don't believe we've met
I'm the voice inside your head
You can try and run
But I'm the silhouette
Blocking the light at the end of the tunnel
But it's not over yet

Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don't run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards' innards
I'll lay the table and attend to you
But my friend, you're on the menu tonight
Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner

We're smuggling heartache
Down through the ages, we're trapped in cages
But we're oblivious
I wish I could say the buck stops here
You're the curator
Of all my fears over the years
Now I'm your waiter
And it's gonna be such a joy to serve

Hi
I know who you are
You're the voice inside my head
Now I could try and run
But you're the silhouette
Blocking the light at the end of the tunnel
But it's not over yet

Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don't run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards' innards
I'll lay the table and attend to you
But my friend, you're on the menu tonight
Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner

Old wounds reopen on young skin
The past trembles through new voices
Unresolved chords
A heartbeat under floorboards
Be careful where you tread
How could we miss this?
Unfinished business
Invite them in for dinner

Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don't run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards
Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don't run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards' innards
I'll lay the table and attend to you
But my friend, you're on the menu tonight
Don't run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
