If Demons were real
the world would be a scary place
because if we know anything it's that
the devil, she hates boredom

If Demons were real
They would hide in the shadows behind you
making you unsure of every step you take
They would be waiting at the lights
just to turn them red as soon as you got there

If Demons were real
They would warp the reality that you perceive
Just to scare you with your own face in the mirror
They would be the ones in your toilet
flushing it before you’re done

If Demons were real
They would keep you up at night
playing tricks and scaring you with your own mind
They would finally allow you to sleep
only to feed your subconscious with nightmares

If Demons were real
They would tempt you with money and power
and then leave you unhappy and alone
They would tell you that you could be anything
and proceed to crush you with your own mediocrity  

If Demons were real
They would cast a veil of darkness over your world
and convince you that you are the one extinguishing the light
They would force you to doubt everything most stable
and cause you to shake your own foundations

If Demons were real
They could catalyze war within your own soul
so the world could devour what is left of you
They would take advantage of your hopeless mind
and make you believe your face looks better now in that mirror

If Demons were real
They would say that you could be a hero
if only you got rid of these few 'bad guys'
They would even promise you fame
if you could make a show of flesh and fireworks

If Demons were real
the world would be a scary place
Good thing they're not
