Demon In Your Eyes

John TeagueDuet with Morgan Ashley

As white as my knuckles could of got at the time

We were wine aging bitterly, fermenting to a fight

We were alive and never lost sight of our endeavors

Just lost the want to give a damn about each other

You were my everything, you carried me into a desert

Where I wither away at your devilish pleasure

But you’re further from warmth, than things I can imagine

You’re so cold, and boldly I took it to the next level

And I swore I’d never lay my hand on a woman ever

But there you are laying on the ground

This rage I’ve stored away while we’re together

Wouldn’t leave me any other way than through your jaw

As you get back to your feet

I see a demon in your eyes

I swear I saw a demon in your eyes

You may have knocked me down, but I’m still the woman

You knew back in high school when I’d race you to the car

And after class I thought that we could fly away together

Forever, two songbirds, singing to the stars

But you took away my youth when you knocked me up

I’ll never forgive you, my heart’s begun to rust

From being exposed to the way you leave me alone

To find an outlet of my own

And you swore you’d never lay your hand on a woman ever

But here I am layin’ on the ground

This rage you’ve stored away while we’re together

Couldn’t leave you any other way than through my jaw

As I get back to my feet I see the demon in your eyes

I swear I see the demon in your eyes

Where did it all go?

The love we had was passionate years ago

I guess time has brought us here

It’s funny how the curtains close on those that cling to fear

I saw the light come through the broken window

It’s time I become something human once again

But I’m as empty as the day before I met you

And I hope there’s peace for us in the end

As I pack my things I saw a demon leave your eyes

I swear I saw a demon, demon leave your eyes
