Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've got demons
Running 'round in my head
And they feed on
Insecurities I have
Won't you lay your
Healing hands on my chest?
Let your ritual clean
[Verse 2]
Soak the ropes with your holy water
Tie me down as you read out the words
Set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind
[Verse 3]
Desdemona
Won't you liberate me?
When I'm haunted
By your ancient history
Close these green eyes
And watch over as I sleep
Through my darkest of dreams
[Verse 4]
Be the power
To compel me
Hold me closer than anyone before
[Verse 5]
Set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind
[Verse 6]
Set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind
[Verse 7]
Set me free from my jealousy
Won't you exorcise my mind?
Won't you exorcise my mind?
I want to be free as I'll ever be
Exorcise my mind
Help me exorcise my mind
[Verse 8]
Your mind exists somewhere
Altogether different
It lives in a world
Where feelings simply cannot be defined
By words
