Demons Play - FāëM

I can’t remember when sadness

Stopped being a feeling and became

Part of my character forevermore

Must have been happening when I walked out of my parent’s house door

Said: «I am leaving, I’m a grown man now

Why are you grieving? Come on take a bow

To the good life! California sunshine!»

California deep-fried — California out of sight

So what, I make mistakes

It’s in my DNA

And tho the skies are grey

I’m gonna be O. k

So what I sold my soul

For a house of gold

I wanna change my face

When my demons play

When my demons play

When my demons play

So now I’m working out my past, working out this song

Working out the rhythm of it, working out where I belong

That’s a lot of working out!

Mr. Townsend laid it down for me

Deliberately offering me ways to escape from being me

Being me is overrated, I hate it

It’s always easier to call the other one crazy

Instead of facing the face behind the mask of your own charade

And me? I’ll hide my face behind my demon masquerade

So what, I make mistakes

It’s in my DNA

And tho the skies are grey

I’m gonna be O. k

So what, I sold my soul

For a house of gold

I wanna change my face

When my demons play

To the good life, California sunshine

California deep-fried, California out of sight

On the bright side, high life, joy ride, long nights

Gonna let my demons play!

So what, I make mistakes

It’s in my DNA

And tho the skies are grey

I’m gonna be O. k

So what, I sold my soul

For a house of gold

I wanna change my face

When my demons play

When my demons play

When my demons play
