Theres a demon and an angel
And they hang around my neck
One helps me to be better
The other leaves me a wreck
The demon tied the angel up
She no longer had a say
And the demon stepped right up
And she whisked me right away
I really wasn't worried
She told me to be free
She said its time to really live
And only live for me
I made some bad decisions
I didn't really care
I've been a good girl all my life
Its really only fair
The demon looped a rope
just one time around my head
It was loose enough for comfort
So I didn't think to dread
She lit a fuse inside of me
That made me feel so bright
But I was doing a lot of things
That I knew were just not right
Others seemed offput
The rejection kind of stung
Why is living just for me
Rubbing everybody wrong
It still didn't matter
Then the demon tied a knot
The demon can't control me
At least or so I thought
The angel watched in silence
As she claimed another soul
The demon whispered to me
Come on girl its time to roll
I didn't see it coming
She played me like a fool
My world started to unravel
And she told me it was cool
I wanted to believe her
Eventually I did
Then the rope got even tighter
That she had around my head
I kept making bad decisions
Thinking the damage is already done
Unknowingly, I was in a game
She had obviously already won
My hope was too depleted
I was selfish for too long
All the people that once loved me
I just did them all so wrong
Then I looked down at my angel
Looking helpless as could be
And for a fleeting moment
I realized that she is me
I reached down and untied her ropes
And looked down at the demon
The demon held the leash of me
And I realized this aint freedom
Life is more than just myself
Its more than just right now
Decisions that I make
Will come back to me somehow
I untied the knot around my neck
And gave the rope some slack
I said "you can't control me demon"
And I took my power back
The angel she just hugged me
So proud I made this choice
"You can be good and free
Don't forget to use your voice
Its normal to have boundaries
And make time just for you
Its not selfish to be happy
But consider others too
Always be respectful
Karma is actually true
And the one thing to avoid in life
Is bad karma chasing you"
And so I just decided that if
demon loves her ropes
Then I'll tie her up and see if she likes
Me messing with her hopes
So now my demons quiet
Or I tighten up her knot
Because the lessons that shes taught me
Surley won't be soon forgot.
