Violent Dreams

A thought of violence With a history of pain Thoughts like this Drives a man insane Tossing and turning Not sleeping at all In a nights cold sweat It’s that burning call That makes you want To just let go So everyone sees And everyone knows This is what you really are This is what she wanted to see The devil I am The beast that’s in me
