My Abyss, Deep In the Steep

My demons, I see, 
Though they are quiet
But are never silenced
They still want to riot. 

Some of the demons leave me,
So, it's quiet in my head
Some of them travel with me
Yet, they roam inside me, dead. 

I'm sure they'll always be around, 
In my darknesses, I want to sleep 
They want to pull me, tied-up into 
My abyss, deep in the steep. 

Release me demonic spirits, I quake,
And lead me only to an endless solitude
So I can rest from the exhaustion
Your evils cause, then wants to take. 

Fleeing, setting me free from your distractions,
You're this chaos, that's causing me to dread my life
With the unsettledness lurking, stirring around inside
I find myself dead, having no more strife.
