You could never really win
not to say you were born to lose
You were born to take 10th place
out of 20 in a field

mistakes flow through your veins
your mediocre ways

Your life's a living hell
You got gremlins in your blood cells
and monsters in your bed

they're haunting you again

oh but it must be this place
at least thats what you say, say, say.

You don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside （demons aside）
keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from.
Soon you wont feel this anymore

cast your demons aside （demons aside）
keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
a fire used to burn
in your heart and in your eyes
You used to dream, you used to care
you used to love, you used to fight.
for anything at all.

you cover up your bedroom walls
with who you want to be
now you're afraid to be yourself
and you search for months for something else
you read magazines and watch MTV

You practiced it and everything
Oh, you're dressed to impress

but you look like a drag queen

You don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside （demons aside）
keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from.
Soon you wont feel this anymore

cast your demons aside （demons aside）

keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on

so keep your head up high
stretch inches into miles

because Brooklyn wasn't built in just a day
focus on the important things （stretch inches into miles）
Be your own god
like every ghost that held you down was gone.

Keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
You don't love you anymore
cast your demons aside （demons aside）
keep 'em close enough to know what you're running from.
Soon you wont feel this anymore
cast your demons aside （demons aside）

keep 'em close enough to know that you're moving on
