Lola May - Demons

She felt most alive when she pretended to be someone else
Never too late to realise
Who you felt you could trust
In this world it's not enough
Others kill to live like her
Not realising it's tough
Happiness was an illusion that she fought to find
Her days were full of eerie shadows where she learned to hide from the truth
And the men who want to use you
She's played the game long enough now she'll outdo you
She lives in the cage of her own making
She's gotten so good at trying to fake it
But she sneaks out at night, where she can live a lie
Running from the demons in her closet instead of picking a fight
She thinks she needs a knight to come and save her
Doesn't realise that'll only just enslave her
To find her peace of mind, if only for tonight
Why not just stop and show the world who Lola really is
She learned how to act while in a glass house
Whilst holding all the stones to make it fall down
The threats and the lies, the basis of their whole empire
Nothing is forever, that's a motto that she stands by
She's been to hell and back and thought it wonderful
Growing up she's realising that she's powerful
The nights where she cries, ain't gonna happen this time
All the bets are off the table and she's on the loose
She lives in the cage of her own making
She's gotten so good at trying to fake it
But she sneaks out at night, where she can live a lie
Running from the demons in her closet instead of picking a fight
She thinks she needs a knight to come and save her
Doesn't realise that'll only just enslave her
To find her peace of mind, if only for tonight
Why not just stop and show the world who Lola really is
She's learned to slay all her demons
Found everything that she's needed
Let go of all of her weakness
Why not just stop and show the world who Lola really is
She's learned to slay all her demons
Found everything that she's needed
Let go of all of her weakness
Why not just stop and show the world who Lola really is
