I know the demons
who lurk inside
who lurk inside
You kick and scream
yet they won’t subside
They are not just in your mind
They crawl into your every cell
that they can find
that they can find
It starts with a vision of a thought
From whence it came
you will forever know not
you will forever know not
Then follows the innocent fear
The trembles and pouring
of many a tear
of many a tear
The pain in your gut as your body curls
into the position of your birth
into the position of your birth
Renders you immobile
as if glued to the earth
as if glued to the earth
These monsters fill you with guilt
Though it is irrational
you wither and wilt
Your body shrinks
as your heart sinks
as your heart sinks
Hell opens up to you
You feel its heat
as your spirit falls through
Those you love try to pull you from the fire
Some accuse you
calling you a liar
They do not understand
that your heartache is real
that your heartache is real
They tell you to think about
how you are making them feel
how you are making them feel
There exists no switch
of which
you can just turn them on and off
You’re simply riding the waves made
when those demons scoff
when those demons scoff
If they laugh
then so should you
then so should you
This eventually
is what you learn how to do
is what you learn how to do
They will get bored
and the winds will be calm
and the winds will be calm
Only every now and then
will they bring you a qualm
They will always be there
as they were from your start
They simply had to act
before you got too smart
before you got too smart
But once you know
they do not own your soul
they do not own your soul
Your heart and mind
will begin to feel whole
will begin to feel whole
Shadows cannot exist
if there is no light
if there is no light
So remember
they are yours to rule
with your gift so bright
they are yours to rule
with your gift so bright
Be at peace
for you are good
for you are good
The life you deserve
is unfolding as it should
is unfolding as it should
