Releasing the Demons

I want to scream
But I’m down to my last breath
I want to cry 
But I fear my death

But today I will be silent
And hold it all in
And let the demons subside
Within me again

 I want to shout
But I’m down to my last breath
I want to laugh
In the face of death

But today I will be silent
And hold it all in
And let the demons subside
Within me again

Tomorrow I will do it
Take a deep breath 
Scream and cry
Without fear of death 

Release all my demons
For all the world to see
Let them all out
Before they kill me

But today I will be silent
And hold it all in
And let the demons subside
Within me again.
