demons

Enter Shikari

He s just a boy
But inside him lives the beasts of ancient history
Now that s quite a cross to bear
She s just a girl
Dragging a suitcase full of her great-grandfather s misery
But she doesn t know that she s the heir

Hi
I don t believe we ve met
I m the voice inside your head
You can try and run
But I m the silhouette
Blocking the light at the end of the tunnel
But it s not over yet

Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don t run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards innards
I ll lay the table and attend to you
But my friend, you re on the menu tonight
Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner

We re smuggling heartache
Down through the ages, we re trapped in cages
But we re oblivious
I wish I could say the buck stops here
You re the curator
Of all my fears over the years
Now I m your waiter
And it s gonna be such a joy to serve

Hi
I know who you are
You re the voice inside my head
Now I could try and run
But you re the silhouette
Blocking the light at the end of the tunnel
But it s not over yet

Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don t run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards innards
I ll lay the table and attend to you
But my friend, you re on the menu tonight
Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner

Old wounds reopen on young skin
The past trembles through new voices
Unresolved chords
A heartbeat under floorboards
Be careful where you tread
How could we miss this?
Unfinished business
Invite them in for dinner

Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don t run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards
Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
Don t run away from your demons
Boil up the bastards innards
I ll lay the table and attend to you
But my friend, you re on the menu tonight
Don t run away from your demons
Invite them in for dinner
