Demon
Dream away the sickness
Choking down the pain
Reach into the darkness
Dancing in the rain
Nurse the innocence
Into another place
Hold them close till they cry out
I find another face
Wet nightmares
This perverted lust is never gone
Dancing with my demons
In tangled webs of dawn
If it dares to bleed
This plaything in my arms
I reach into the void
Peel back brittle shards
Drunken, careless words of comfort
Gorge on strangled fears
Gripping locks of mangled hair
Should you ever show your tears
Wet nightmares
This perverted lust is never gone
Dancing with my demons
In tangled webs of dawn
Through a tangled web of demons
And this hideous taste of blood
He will comb the night for his prey
Through deep and endless mud
