The Demon Inside Me

The Demon Inside Me

I hear a whisper in the dead of the night
A shadow moves just out of sight
It knows my name, it knows my fear
It feeds on anger and drinks my tear

Every step I take it follows me
A mirror of whom I am afraid to be
Is it a curse or is it my flame
A beast in chains calls my name

The demon inside me, striving to rise
It’s a part of soul behind my eyes
I fight it, I feed, I let it consume
The demon inside me is my rise and my doom

It offers power, it offers pain
It gives me thunder and calls that rain
A weapon created from my despair
A blade I wield but am unaware

Every step I take it grows more bold
A fire within both hot and cold
Is it my prison or my key
The demon inside, won’t let it be

The demon inside, it’s making me hollow
Wherever I go, he does follow
I punch him, I kick him, I let him ride
The demon inside me, we cannot divide

He masters me, he controls me
He doesn’t set me free
It creates me, he makes me destroy
With the demon inside I am the boy

With every breath he captures me
With every thought he tortures me
Will he slay me or he is a friend
Living with him is my new trend

The demon inside me, its driving me mad
Either doing good, or doing bad
Its keeping me alive and makes me thrive
The demon inside me, without him I can’t survive

He makes me rise, it gives me surprise
Is it a game, can’t I tame
It connects me to divine and makes me shine

It controls my body, it controls my soul
He is the other half of my whole
I am like the branch and he is the tree
The demon inside, is holding onto me

I can’t tame, I can’t control
But I can apart my soul
He triggered me like a gun
But now it’s turning to be the battle I have won

With every tear I become brave
The demon is digging his own grave
Even though he could be friend
But all this now has to end

The demon inside me, I have to defeat
The demon inside, a terrible treat
But he can’t he conquered easily
Because he is the demon inside me

Just rise, just rise
Just rise, just rise

The demon inside me
