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 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 But I stay down with my demons I stay down with my demons Bats and buzzards in the sky Alligators in the sewers I don’t even wonder why Hide among the younger viewers 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 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 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 Want to 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 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 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
