When I think of you in the city The sight of you among the sites I get this sudden sinking feeling Of a man about to fly Never kept me up before Now I've been awake for days I can't fight it anymore I'm going through an awkward phase I am secretly in love with, Everyone that I grew up with Do not cry in underwater I can't get down any farther All my drowning friends can see Now there is no running from it It's become my cross of me I wish that I could rise above it
But I stay down, with my demons I stay down, with my demons
Passing buzzards in the sky, aligators in the sewers I don't even wonder why, I hide among the other viewers Huddle with them all night long The worried talk to god goes on
I sincerely tried to love it Wish that I could rise above it
But I stay down, with my demons I stay down, with my demons But I stay down, with my demons I stay down, with my demons
Can I stay here? I can sleep on the floor Paint the blood and hang the palms, on the door Do not think I'm going places anymore Wanna see the sun come up above New York Whoa, everyday I start so great Then the sunlight dips, less I've learned The more I see the pythons and the lams Do not know what's wrong with me Sours in the cup But when I walk into the room I do not light it up, fight
But I stay down, with my demons I stay down, with my demons But I stay down, with my demons I stay down, with my demons.
