You could never really win Not to say you're born to lose You were born to take tenth place Out of twenty in a field Mistakes flow through your veins In a mediocre waste Your life's a living hell You got gremlins in your blood cells And monsters in your bed They're haunting you again Oh, but it must be this place At least that's what you say, say, say You don't love you any more Cast your demons aside (demons aside) Keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from Soon you won't feel this any more Cast your demons aside (demons aside) Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on The fire used to burn In your heart and in your eyes You used to dream, you used to care You used to love, you used to fight For anything at all You cover up your bedroom walls with who you want to be Now you're afraid to be yourself And you search the mall for something else You read magazines and watch MTV You practised it and everything Oh, you're dressed to impress But you look like a drag queen You don't love you any more Cast your demons aside (demons aside) Keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from Soon you won't feel this any more Cast your demons aside (demons aside) Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on So keep your head up high Stretch inches into miles Because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day Focus on important things (Stretch inches into miles) Be your own gun like every ghost that held you down was gone Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on You don't love you any more Cast your demons aside (demons aside) Keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from Soon you won't feel this any more Cast your demons aside (demons aside) Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
