Michael

I fear the demon inside The demon inside of me I can hear him clawing away inside Longing to be free He's broken free a time or two But ive always forced him back Kicking and screaming i force him down At least until he attacks Michael is my demons name Its the name i choose to give To all the evil that waits inside The evil that wants to kill Michael has always been there I knew him before i knew me Before anyone taught me right from wrong Michael helped me see To see the world for what it is A cruel and vicious place Where people run forever side by side In this never ending race Running in search of nothing At least nothing theyll ever find And then one day they simply drop Just short of the finish line None of it makes any sence Its like they nevar lived Why would anyone choose that life I would rather have been born still I learned that leason early Guided by my inner me Those lessons have made me who i am And not just another sheep Now i find myself all grown up Older than i ever planned to be Thinking about the demon inside And what having michael says about me Always worried about the stigma And what the good people might just say If they could see the demon that lives inside And not just this handsome face Could they ever understand Its michael that makes me strong And if it wasent for michaels strength I would have never lived this long.
