((A dæmon telling their human to confide in them after a heartache.))

Look around your world, pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
Roll to me

Look into your heart, pretty baby
Is it aching with some nameless need
Is there something wrong and you can't put your finger on it
Right then, roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there

So don't try to deny it, pretty baby
You've been down so long you can hardly see
When the engine's stalled and it won't stop raining it's the
Right time to roll to me
Roll to me
Roll to me

And I don't think I have ever seen a soul so in despair
So if you want to talk the night through
Guess who will be there

So look around your world, pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it'd be
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me
The right time to roll to me



((Dæmon to human.))

Let me show you what I'm made of
Good intentions are not enough
To get me through today and this life...
We sleep underneath the same big sky at night
I dream the same dream
We can fly

You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life

Let me tell you who you really are
You're my comfort
You're not a superstar
I can reach up and bring you back down to the ground
And give you everything you dream about

You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life

I'll give you all the things that I never get
Give you all I have and have no regret
Take you to the places that I've never been
Forgive you all the things that you can't forget
Take away the pain with my healing hands
Wash away your sins and set your spirit free

You can run from me
You can hide from me
But I am right beside you
In this life
Let me show you what I'm made of



((A fantasy song about a cruel, abusive dæmon who, instead of being a conscience, only tears their human down.))

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
And watches everything
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
And watches everything
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin

The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin



((This song excites me as it's the best (and only?) song I can think of that seems to be purely about an imaginary friend - in this case a night-light personified. The singer's attitude sounds very dæmon-esque in parts, in that he's a joker but maybe a bit exasperating. X3))

I'm your only friend
I'm not your only friend
But I'm a little glowing friend
But really I'm not actually your friend
But I am

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
It's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
So the room must listen to me
Filibuster vigilantly
My name is blue canary one note spelled L-I-T-E
My story's infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette it doesn't rest

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

There's a picture opposite me
Of my primitive ancestry
Which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
Though I respect that a lot
I'd be fired if that were my job
After killing Jason off and countless screaming Argonauts
Bluebird of friendliness
Like guardian angels its always near

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch
Who watches over you
Make a little birdhouse in your soul
Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul

And while you're at it
Keep the nightlight on inside the
Birdhouse in your soul

Not to put too fine a point on it
Say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
Make a little birdhouse in your soul...



((Great dæmon to human song, telling them to just enjoy life and appreciate who they are.))

Hey hey
Did you ever think there might be another way
To just feel better
Just feel better about today?

Oh no
If you never want to have
To turn and go away
You might feel better
Might feel better if you stay

Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard a word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in

If you want to be somebody else
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind

Hey hey
Have you ever danced in the rain
Or thanked the sun
Just for shining (just for shining)
Or the sea?
Oh no- take it all in
The world's a show
And yeah, you look much better
Look much better when you glow

Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard a word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in

If you want to be somebody else
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind

Hey hey
What ya say
We both go and seize the day?
'Cause what's your hurry
What's your hurry anyway?

Yeah yeah
I bet you haven't heard a word I've said
Yeah yeah
If you've had enough of all your tryin'
Just give up
The state of mind you're in

If you want to be somebody else
If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself
If you want to be somebody else
Change your mind



((A criminally insane person's dæmon singing to them? These are amazing lyrics.))

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shelter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's blamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's shamed

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true

Hate
I'm your hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothing's fair

Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you here
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care

I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true

I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reasoned alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you

Sad but true



((Human to dæmon.))

I don't know how I survived
In this cold and empty world for all this time
I only know that I'm alive
Because you love me

When I recall what I've been through
There's some things that I wish I didn't do
Now I do the things I do
Because you love me

And now that you're in my life
I'm so glad I'm alive
'Cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me

And now that you're in my life
Oh, I'm so glad I'm alive
'Cause you showed me the way
And I know now how good it can be
Because you love me

I believe in things unseen
I believe in the message of a dream
And I believe in what you are
Because you love me

With all my heart and all my soul
I'm loving you and I never will let go
And every day I'll let it show
Because you love me
Because you love me
Because you love me



((A wonderful dæmon to human song.))

When the visions around you
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength
I'll give you hope
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call
Was standing here all along

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow
Forever has now begun

Just close your eyes
Each loving day
And know this feeling won't go away
'Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

Over and over I fall
When I hear you call
Without you in my life, baby
I just wouldn't be living at all

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
'Till the day my life is through
This I promise you, baby

Just close your eyes
Each loving day
I know this feeling won't go away
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you



((A dæmon telling his girl to stop being so influenced by the opinions of others.))

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head; you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just try your best; try everything you can
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)

Hey, you know they're all the same
You know you're doing better on your own, so don't buy in
Live right now
Yeah, just be yourself
It doesn't matter if it's good enough for someone else

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head; you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just do your best; do everything you can
And don't you worry what the bitter hearts are gonna say

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)

It just takes some time
Little girl you're in the middle of the ride
Everything (everything) will be just fine
Everything (everything) will be alright (alright)



((Dæmon to human.))

I wanna wake up each morning
With you for the rest of my life
I wanna feel your heart beating
Just get lost in your eyes
You can tell me your secrets
You can let me feel your pain
You can show me your weakness
And never be ashamed

Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold
When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control
You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe
Hold on to me when there's no middle ground
And every emotion is comin' unwound
And you don't know if you can hold on
To your dreams
Baby, you can hold on to me

I wanna lay down each evening
With you right here by my side
I wanna get drunk on your laughter
And wipe all the tears when you cry
You can scare me with your darkness
You can blind me with your light
Throw your worries out the window, baby
On your wildest night

Hold on to me when your world's turnin' cold
When it feels like your life's spinnin' out of control
You're hopin', prayin', tryin' so hard to believe
Hold on to me when there's no middle ground
And every emotion is comin' unwound
And you don't know if you can hold on
To your dreams
Baby, you can hold on to me
