Becoming Your Demons

This life of guilt and shame sad to say that evil knows my name and you swear you understand but you will never know This pain down deep inside chooses to feast upon my pride underneath a veil of thought silence is the word inner anger that is made manifest itself through my rage until this inner animal I cant control For all the pain I am taught to feel For all the love I thought was real I am haunted by the shadow on the wall For he has seen my darkest days witnessed me in my wicked ways and he has cursed me all along the way Sometimes I get face to face bottom of the bottle calls my name and there is nothing left to feel but this beast inside my skin begins to crawl as I throw my fist against the wall and nothing feels this pain that I release Surrounded by my ghosts begging me to sell my soul I have become the thing that I feared most
