The Devil Inside

Sometimes I feel the devil rising                                                                                                                  from deep within my soul                                                                                                       I try and try and try like hell                                                                                                           to keep her in control

She feeds on all the pain and guilt                                                                                                 and laughs at my demise                                                                                                       I try and try and try like hell                                                                                                       but she continues to rise

Satisfaction she desires most                                                                                                                  when I just hide away                                                                                                             I try and try and try like hell                                                                                                          to stop her rise each day

Sometimes I feel like giving in                                                                                                            my heart can take no more                                                                                                        I try and try and try like hell                                                                                                   as she eats me to my core

She drinks up all my blood                                                                                                filling me with rage                                                                                                                  I try and try and try like hell                                                                                                           to keep her in her cage

Sometimes I see the woman                                                                                                without the devil in me                                                                                                           I try and try and try like hell                                                                                                  cause that’s who I want to be.
