The Human Computers - Demons

There are footprints, a 44 in the yard
Leading to the shed behind the house
And the candlelight flickering
A single tear is trickling down your cheek
You're trapped like a mouse

Before you open up the door
And stand before me
You wipe the single tear off your face
And you say that you tried
To vanish and hide
I just followed your trace

In your hands there's a brush and a canvas
You keep quiet, but there's a story it tells
And i sense your void
My questions you avoid
Your drawings they speak for themselves

There's a beast in the picture you drew
There's so much that i never knew
But your beast and my swine are tangled up
Your pretty face is showing what once was mine
These demons that once were mine

You ripped off my half of the photograph baby
Sucking the last blood out of me
Now there are two of us just feeling lost
And tired of hesitation
Wandering through restless minds

You took a ride on the backseat of my motorbike, darling
Rode it to the viewpoint up the road
Now there are two of us just feeling lost
Downed by disillusion
Falling through an open world

There's a beast in the picture you drew
There's so much that i never knew
But your beast and my swine are tangled up
Your pretty face is showing what once was mine
These demons that once were mine

It's the feeling of the tribe leaving you behind
And i tried to conquer the truth
It's a feeling i'd describe as the dying of a vibe
But i tried to conquer that, too
Somewhere in this life is a meaning and a scythe
Which comes first is not yours to decide
