about

Originally recorded in 1995, this was the last And Tears fell track made during Samantha's lifetime. The lyrics deal with childhood trauma and toxic family behavior.

lyrics

Demons
(T. Downing/S. Downing)

I hear voices in the night
my head feels like a cannonball
so heavy and about to explode
the rain beats down relentlessly
so hard to take the pain sometimes
but I'm getting used to being alone

running down a road to someplace
better than I've ever known
through the doorway & the past is gone
driving down a road to nowhere
through the doorway & the future rushes in

well it's all laid down in black & white
and yet, people see what they want to see
but it could still turn out alright
for other people like you & me
days may come and days may go
still, you never know 'til you reach the end
when I get it figured out
will I still be able to call you friend?

dreaming of a better time
watching the ghosts of all my family
go parading by
if it should come to pass that I should
ever need to stand and fight the demons
would you stand by my side?

see them coming closer
will I ever have the courage
to stand up for myself?
if I should fall before the laughing
fucked up bastards
will you pick me up
and help me make it through?
