Demons by Carlos Villarni

INNER CITY STORIES

These fucking demons
are really scheming
inside my head
making my brain dead
those are the perks
if it really works
but it's not too late
to come back against fate.

The thoughts inside my head are like demons
setting my head on fire and my brain steaming.
Yet my actions are definitely the angels
battling the demons so I’m able
to defeat them so my mind can clear.
The shit I overthink about isn't weird
Yet regardless it doesn't do me any good.
My mind says I could but my heart says I should
Keep repeating these actions since I do it for me
I’m really trying to keep my mind stress free
in order to progress with how my mind can be
I’ll keep fighting these demons indefinitely.
I won't let these thoughts become my controller.
It'll be easier to handle as I get older
because I’ll have to face the same shit over and over.
I'll focus today for a better tomorrow
rather than surrender to fear with my thoughts locked in.
Having determination is how I'm rocking

These thoughts inside of my head
leave me feeling steaming red.
Confining me to solitaire
telling me this shit ain't fair.
I’m left wanting nobody around.
Sometimes I'm pounded down to the ground
Sometimes I'm down on my knees
Pleading God just help me please.
Get those demons out of there,
Get those demons out of there,
out of there, out of there.
Get those demons out of there,
out of there, out of there.

These fucking demons
are really scheming
inside my head
making my brain dead
those are the perks
if it really works
but it's not too late
to come back against fate.

It's like I go through the same cycle everyday
then get tired without anything interesting to say
let's be real, we've all been through this phase
but we can move on in many different ways
so our past can just be history
we’ve moved, we’ve achieved victory.
Sometimes we lose the battle, but oh well
I still won't allow my head to steam like hell
Ever since I let my mentality raise the bar
as well as allowing it to take it too far.
Y'all can just call me an overachiever
but I won't sit back and become a pleaser
because I'm not afraid to make my next moves
since I know I really have a lot to prove.
With a little bit of spiritual help I'll be straight
and have negative thoughts escape through the open gates
they’ll come around again just like karma
so I’ll have to plant new seeds, just like a farmer.
