Demon Appetite

Within the depths of silence Amongst your thoughts are whispers Where “what if’s” and fantasy collide You’ll find this great deception You’ll hide your fears with laughter Your pain and sorrow too No other can understand The song the demon sings The love of friends and family Become its favorite food Each moment held in question It attacks with strength renewed Fond memories become too few As the demon eats away Caressing as it belittles you Slowly you become its prey
