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.
