Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Getting edgy all the time
Someone around me just a step behind
It's kind of scary, the shape I'm in
Walls are shaking and closing in
Too fast or a bit too slow
Paranoid of people and it's starting to show
One guy that I can't shake
Over my shoulder is a big mistake
[Chorus]
Sitting on the bed and I'm lyin' wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kind of weak
Saying all I know is, I gotta get away from me
[Verse 2]
Tell you, something just ain't right
My head is on loose but my shoes are tight
Avoiding my friends, they all bug
Life is like a riddle and I'm really stumped
If you reason, don't you know
Your own preoccupation is where you'll go
Being followed, look around
It's only my shadow creepin' on the ground
[Chorus]
Sitting on the bed and I'm lyin' wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kind of weak
Saying all I know is, I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
[Bridge]
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
[Outro]
Sitting on the bed and I'm lyin' wide awake
There's demons in my head and it's more than I can take
I think I'm on a roll, but I think it's kind of weak
Saying all I know is, I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
I gotta get away from me
