Demon on a Leash Lyrics

I keep a demon on a leash

It's fun watch him bark and it's fun to watch him bleed

I take him to the park and I walk him in the street

And I never ever feed him though he's begging me to eat

I keep a demon on a leash

When my muscles feeling strong or when my muscles feeling weak

Never a struggle or a tussle or a peep

Cuz I keep a muzzle on him so it's hard for him to speak

I took the wrong advice

I tried the dance, it didn't work, but the song is nice

It's funny how the fighters of the strongest vice

Will play the doctor and prescribe some of the wrongest rights, like

Anything can be your god

A forest or a fellowship or even a doorknob

So you're telling me it doesn't really matter

No no, it does but you'll find out why after

I'm grateful that illusion is shattered

I had to cut through all the chatter

And then produce a new chapter with

Grooves in a pattern that's new to my gray matter

And slay a paint-splattered dragon just by growing like the Pagemaster

I am my salvation

I can save myself

I am my salvation

I can save myself

The truth was mad polluted and diluted and

Matter of fact they might have actually ruined it

Had to flush the fluid sewage and tighten the screws that loosened and

Fight with a few obtrusions that likely just caused confusion, but

I finally found the right solution

I started believing I didn't have to keep losing

Outpacing the imp was as simple as start moving

I was drowning, now I'm swimming faster than a bluefin

No need to lock the door to not let him in

The leash will do its job, and as long as you're not

Pettin' him, or lettin' him have a treat here and there

He'll wanna take what he can get so give an inch he'll take a lightyear

But I've been getting better and better

When the little guy's reminded that he's fettered to a tether

When I step outside and he runs full throttle

Then his neck snaps back, and his flailing body follows

I am my salvation

I can save myself

I am my salvation

I can save myself

I keep a demon on a leash

I love to watch him starve while he's fiending for a feast

He's running in the yard, doing laps around a tree-and

the grass is growing greener in the path he used to frequent

He's getting tired now, I can put the fire out

I got some things I need to iron out

But the burden's lighter now that my entire house is built on higher ground

I'm taking in the sights and sounds, and

I'll be bounding through my sprouting phase and grow at an astounding pace

Catch me calm, collected, cool and comfy in a crowded place

Flipping a pouting face, finished compounding shame

Sky is no limit, in a minute I'll be scouting space

Now that I'm through with this foolish shit,

I'm doing exuberant, might even be jubilant

I'm lucid, it's got me feelin' more human and loose and shit

I'm blooming and opportunity's looming, let's do this shit

I am my salvation

I can save myself

I am my salvation

I can save myself

I am my salvation

I can save myself

I am my salvation

I can save myself
