 A                      E  
demons that were in me, had turned me wrong side out.

I knew I wasn't dead I had been, burried alive.(and i said)

                   E 
was burried in the deepest darkest place

A                            D

 A                               E                    A 
felt the stir inside me, and the smoke came 'cross my face.
