Demons - The Morning Spiritual Battle | Essay + Song

This is an essay about the song “Demons” from my upcoming record You’re Not a Ghost Anymore. It’s about that moment in the morning when your eyes open and the war begins. The thoughts rush in. The doubts. The accusations. The voice that sounds like you but isn’t really on your side. Some people call it psychology. Some call it trauma. Some call it self-sabotage. I call it demons. This essay was written at 4:33 a.m., right in the middle of that battlefield. If you’ve ever woken up already losing, this is for you. The battle is spiritual. But so is the solution.
