There's a demon inside of me
And there's nowhere left to run this time
Got me singing from the wrong hymn sheet
Got me cooking with a pocket knife

There's a demon inside of me
And he's drinking on the job again
Lost his wallet and lost his keys
Then threw the bottle at his best friend's head

Stay close, don't leave
I'll let you trick me with another lie
I'll play along, I won't cheat
I don't wanna live a quiet life

I don't wanna live a quiet life

There's a demon inside of me
And he's itching for another scratch
Temper tantrums in the street
I saw him skipping through the tear gas

Stay close, don't leave
I'll let you trick me with another lie
I'll play along, I won't cheat
I don't wanna live a quiet life
Oh, stick around with me
Let me sink into your burning eyes
It's so hard to lose a missing piece
I don't wanna live a quiet life

I don't wanna live a quiet life
I don't wanna live a quiet life

There's a demon inside of me
And there's nowhere left to run this time
