Staring down demons, down at Taunton Middle High
Step-dad was a drunk and every weeknight was a battle
Rubbing elbows with the morning cattle. Sacrifices
Getting even with the demons and all their surprises

I couldn't ask them to leave
I just invited them in
I can't believe what I just did
Shoved my face inside my pillow
Said Hail Mary's 'til I turned purple

It won't break me down
Won't leave me paralyzed
I will spit fire on the pious of the guilty
That relate but see right through me
I will spit fire

I guess you didn't get the note on the nightstand
(Forgot to read it)
About setting the house on fire
Somehow a witness to my offense
Just pissed on the evidence
Now everybody wants to know where the dog's hiding

One day I'll cash your death check
Buy the greatest and the respectable
That thought had crossed my mind
Oh yes, that thought had crossed my mind
