Aaron Dessner - Demons Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I think of you in the city
The sight of you among the sights
I get the sudden sinking feeling
Of a man about to fly
It 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
I do my crying underwater
I can't get down any farther
All my drowning friends can see
Now there is no running from it
It's become the crux of me
I wish that I could rise above it

[Chorus]
But I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons

[Verse 2]
Bats and buzzards in the sky
Alligators in the sewers
I don't even wonder why
I hide among the younger viewers
I huddle with them all night long
The worried talk to God goes on
I sincerely tried to love it
I wish that I could rise above it
[Chorus]
But I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons

[Bridge]
Can I stay here? I can sleep on the floor
Paint the blood and hang the palms on the door
I do not think I'm going places anymore
I wanna see the sun come up above New York
Oh, every day I start so great, and then the sunlight dims
The less I look, the more I see the pythons in the limbs
I do not know what's wrong with me, the sour is in the cut
When I walk into a room, I do not light it up
Fuck

[Chorus]
So I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons
I stay down with my demons
