I can't go; don't make me
There's demons coming up the stairs
Shadows, dark and deadly
I shrink at their greedy glares
I can't move; I can't go
They're crawling on the steps
Up the roof, down below
Right underneath my bed
I can't; they'll get me
Unmake me 'til I'm not who I am
Won't relent; they'll break me
I can't go, please understand
There's demons coming up the stairs
Shadows, dark and deadly
I shrink at their greedy glares
I can't move; I can't go
They're crawling on the steps
Up the roof, down below
Right underneath my bed
I can't; they'll get me
Unmake me 'til I'm not who I am
Won't relent; they'll break me
I can't go, please understand
Inspired by Josh Eppard's (former) demons.
As I understand it, he and his band Coheed and Cambria were scheduled to go on tour in Europe in 2006 and the morning of their flight, he (suffering from drug addiction at the time) called their manager and told him that he "can't go" and that there were "demons coming up the stairs." He left the band, got clean, made more music and now he is back in Coheed.
Those particular phrases just hit me hard.
