Burning Bright

My demons are inside of me burning bright My alter ego has found his own pride The smile on my face is a lie My demons are inside of me burning bright Words that rhyme from the heart of a desperate man Poetry from the pen of a tortured artist Arms extended in hopes someone will offer a hand Stumbling and slipping as I walk through the darkness Blood on the pavement, from my scars that are unhealed This is what happens when your nightmares become real Enemies can attack you a hundred times But loved ones will destroy you by just crossing the line a ladies man who gave a lot of females times that were Memorable Until Depression struck and I pushed them away, thinking I had nothing to offer Alcohol and emotions don't mix well as chemicals I have a bad relationship with Vodka It makes me feel things I wish to forget Thinking about my old girl as I kiss on my one night stands neck A threesome without her even being here She hurt me so much, I don't have a piece of my heart left to spare My demons are inside of me burning bright My alter ego has found his own pride The smile on my face is a lie My demons are inside of me burning bright
