lyrics

The demons are chasing
And you don’t know where to run
You don’t know which way you’re facing
But you do know what you’ve done
You thought you’d beat them years ago
Left them in your tracks
Now you feel them closing in again
Breathing down your neck
 
Refrain
Oh, you know
They are never going to go
All you can hope is to keep them at bay
But today, the demons are back
 
Fluorescent lights are flashing
Flickering in your head
And all that you can think about
Is what the others said
The needy devil trespassed you
Whispering painful mantra loops
And the raven of your guilt and sin
Judges from its roost
 
Refrain
 
Curled up and cringing in your bed
3a.m. awake and tense
Sweat breaks out on your forehead
Confusion drowns your sense
Your balance tipped as the earth quaked
You sought one who could console
But condemned to isolation
You can’t retrieve what the demons stole
 
Refrain

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
