Invitation From the Devil

The demons inside you has taken your soul It holds your spirit with a deadly hold Tormenting your nights with pain and agony Granting you no comfort for your misery It's a monkey on your back that will never let go Until to yourself stand up to it and demand it to go Your waking moments are only with the need to ease the pain And when you cannot the demons take control again Lashing out at everyone who comes near you Destroying not only yourself but those who care for you And now you stand alone and a hollow shell You've lost you yourself and those you loved as well The monkey on your back holds the strings to make you dance You are the pawn in his game and he is the master of your fate
