I Am
I will take your daughter.
I will take your son.
I will control their minds,
their hearts,
their souls.
I will rip them from the inside out.
From your family,
and from their friends.
They thought I was just a game.
but its you who has no doubt.
I'll take their everything.
So be ever aware,
I have taken them over.
I am the monster that lives
in the back of their heads.
I'll make them crazy
when they keep searching for me.
They'll want more.
Yet, when they run out of what I provide
so is their sanity as I set it to the side.
They will try to kick me out
and clean up their life.
You know I will always be in the back of their mind.
I don't want to leave
and may never go.
You can help them make the choice
between life and death;
between God or me;
They may find the key.
They will lock me away.
I was the drug they kept trying to find.
Maybe then, they will learn what is on the line.
