Demons in the Scenery Lyrics by Second Person

Chromatography

0

[Verse]
Anticipation of pain is more important
Than the minute it begins
It's above any love I have
To see these bruises for my sins
And it's not about what we are today
It's an unspecific state;
It's the rate of desiccation
That I anticipate
[Chorus]
But when the systems start
And the lights go down
Demons in the scenery turn my world around
And I get myself lost;
I won't be found
[Verse]
Is there a difference in meaning between
A brief vacation and a brush with death?
And which one do I need? I seek to speak;
I'm too weak to catch my breath
While I'm caught in these thoughts and awkward words
I'm making clinical, chemical friends
Above my head, discreet, circle birds of sleep
Preparing to descend
(Preparing to descend...)
It's a constriction of chest, at best;
At worst, it's burst by a heavy stone
I can do things that you know I've done before
When I've been with myself alone
(When I'm with myself alone...)
I alone, is destructive—is there any more
I can be surprised by joy?
Nevertheless, in me, stress and anxiety suggest
There's nothing left to destroy
[Chorus]
But when the lights go out
And the curtain falls
Demons in the scenery scream like animals
And I get myself lost
Inside their calls
[Verse]
Some things will fracture slowly;
Some things have sudden breaks
I wish someone had told me
Not to repeat mistakes
I step inside my story
And see it's told in blood
If you were better for me
You wouldn't be so good
[Chorus]
And when they clap their hands
The people take their bows
The demons in the scenery scream it's over now
And I get myself lost
(Ohhhh—)
[Outro]
Sometimes the lights go out; sometimes the lights do down
(Some things will fracture slowly...)
Demons in the scenery turn my world around
(I wish someone had told me...)
'til I get myself lost
(How do I turn my demons down?)
I won't be found
—won't be found
—won't be found
