playing in the park
counting monsters after dark
it really is a shame
that every day is just the same
and even though i try
i cannot slay the demons
i cannot slay the demons in my mind

to find a little peace
that is my only goal
to find myself some relief
i will not eat your soul
nor lose my self control
i want to slay the demons
i want to slay the demons in my mind

said you were my friend
said you'd stay until the end
but i couldn't be your friend
never had a heart to lend
spirit maybe someday mend
if i can slay the demons
if i can slay the demons in my mind

all alone in the park
all alone after dark
it really was a shame
that every day was just the same
and even though i tried
i couldn't slay the demons
i couldn't slay the demons in my mind
