I got demons, I got demons, I got demons I close my eyes and talk to God And pray that you can save my soul I look to you to shine a light Before the darkness takes a hold I won't break And I won't run This time I won't be afraid oh I got demons I got demons tryin'a get to me But they'll never take me down I'm only human Underneath my skin the cuts run deep I just need a little time to work em out (I got demons, I got demons I got demons) to work them out (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I got demons (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I can hear them now and then when I try to make a stand They try their best to pull me under That's when I reach for your hand Never bow because we're all kings We are rulers of our minds, yes we are I know that there's an angel watching over me I see your wings are open wide I won't break And I won't run This time I won't be afraid oh We're only saved when we, come undone It's just the way that we're made oh I got demons I got demons tryin'a get to me But they'll never take me down I'm only human Underneath my skin the cuts run deep I just need a little time to work them out I'm only human (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I just need a little time to work them out I got demons (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I got demons (I got demons)
