Demons
Carcinogens make me feel stronger
The burn of liquor makes me feel cool
There are demons in my head trying to make me break the rules
I know that knives are bad
I know this all sounds cruel
But they tell me it's okay for blood to drip into a pool
The shrink told me the pills would make the voices go away
But what I found, and much to his dismay
The demons made me through the pills away
I know that people love me
Even if they don't say
But I can't help but wonder if I should take me life away
There are demons still inside me
Wanting me to break
But they don't know I still have a smile to fake
Until I find one real
Real enough to keep
These horrors I throw down, down below my feet
All the way to Hell
Back to where they came
The devil hasn't won this one
My King; he still reigns
