about

The writing of this track coincides with a confession album I am recording. Demon's Day Off is a song representing myself on an uncommonly relaxed day, where I find freedom (sometimes self-imposed) from my strenuous guilt complex, ego, and agenda. It illustrates (what I believe to be) evil and distant intentions from my life in a leisurely setting, showing that I may not be able to escape the horrors of my arrogance forever, but I sure can today.

lyrics

It’s a demon’s day off,
Take off your shoes; don’t look at the wall, oh,
So many heads, you don’t want to look at them,
They’re all dead but that’s fine,
They can’t look at you while you pine, oh.

Oh.

It’s a demon’s day off, oh,
Look at the waters; look at the seagulls taking off, into flight,
You don’t have to worry about the fight,
I want you to sleep tight,
Mister sandman will bring you dreams tonight, oh.

And you can kick back and stay a while,
You don’t have to go outside today, oh,
Now hell’s out of business, you don’t have to leave your estate,
I want you to sleep tight,
Mister Sandman will bring you dreams tonight,
I want you to relax,
You don’t have to wear the mask anymore.

Oh,
Oh,
Oh,
Oh.

[extended version]

It’s a demon’s day off,
It’s a demon’s day off,
Oh, it’s a demon’s day off,
Oh, it’s a demon’s day off,
It’s a demon’s day off,
It’s a demon’s day off,
It’s a demon’s day off,
It’s a demon’s day off.
