**(Chorus)** The demons aren’t that loud, Whispers in the crowd, Caught in shadows, but they’re proud, Yeah, they’re playin' on a sound. **Verse 1** Felt like a fool, Sittin' in this room, Numb to the rules, Lost in my own gloom. Anger bubbling up, like I’m growing up, Spent too much time just gettin' high enough, Cigarette flames burn hotter with my lies, Stackin' 'em high, it’s a writer’s disguise. **(Chorus)** The demons aren’t that loud, Whispers in the crowd, Caught in shadows, but they’re proud, Yeah, they’re playin' on a sound. **(Pause for music)** As kids, we played cops and robbers, Makin’ moves, no one here’s a father, Chasin' dreams turned to ashes, Let 'em all burn, no time for backlashes. Criminals pull the techs, they don’t play nice, Robbin' banks, rolling dice, But this ain't what it's really about, Life’s just a game, and we shout. **Bridge** In the Big Bad Wolf, We pull up, watch you lose hope, But the demons aren’t that loud, They’re hidden in a sound. **(Chorus)** The demons aren’t that loud, Whispers in the crowd, Caught in shadows, but they’re proud, Yeah, they’re playin' on a sound.
