My demons are coming back

This time nothing they lack 

They don't hide at home anymore 

They follow me through every door

I can see them in the shadows hiding

I can feel them in the shadows lurking 

Just when I think they're gone

I realize they've been here all along

My demons hold me back from better things 

I listen to the poisonous melodies they sing

They caress me back inside 

Inside the place I hide

I wish it was easy to let them go

For once to tell them no 

To leave their trap

And close the gap

One thing about them that I hate

They are not all just traits

They are the faces I see everyday 

The ones who claim to love me day by day
