lyrics

The candelabra sparkleized
You’ll find the light gets in your eyes
The glittered objects tarnished here
Appearances deceive the ear
You’ll wander widely for a time
The city plan is serpentine
Unfolding as you trust your gut
And from the darkness comes a sign
The pens are precious, pension-tipped
Your glasses helped you give the slip
To banshees in a business suit
Reaching from the upper deck
Inching closer to your neck

Leave it, leave it to demons
The shadows have come to life
Leave it, leave it to demons
They’re working a nine to five
Leave it, leave it to demons
They’re honestly starting to thrive
Leave it to demons
It’s like only the dead survive

An upgrade to your credit line
Carrot, stick now intertwined
Calm your qualms and sign your name
These creatures make compelling claims
The boardroom issues dark decrees
To strain your eyes and bend your knees
The artifacts you scrimped to save
Despite their power won’t stall the grave
A misdirect, a master stroke
The contract is beyond baroque
You must now check-in at the gate
The werewolves have a private plane
Impressive as that sounds, I’d say

I used holy water
It does not work
All the crosses you like
They’ll only smirk
They’re aggressive as hell
But gently so
I signed the bloodied line
That’s how I know
They’re good at their job so

Leave it, leave it to demons
The shadows have come to life
Leave it, leave it to demons
They’re working a nine to five
Leave it, leave it to demons
But their money’s always green
Leave it to demons
It’s like only the dead succeed
