Stare It Down (Unreleased Demo) Songtext
von Steve Wynn

When the devil is at your door (it′s like an invitation)
And he won't listen anymore (it′s like a celebration)
Flying in the face of recrimination
Breaking down the walls of illumination
Right there before you
Don't you know you've got to stare it down


When the lightning splits the skies (it′s like a holy thunder)
And nobody seems surprised (it′s like a touch from under)
Looking for clues in a room full of strangers
Brushing back the hair from the face of danger
Right there before you
Don't you know you′ve got to stare it down

In a dream I was overcome (but I was only sleeping)
Silent and acting dumb (as it was slowly creeping)
Laying in a pool of my own determination
Swear it was more than imagination
finding the truth in a hallucination
Turning the corner on elimination
Right there before you
Don't you know you′ve got to stare it down
