Soul Safe

Soul safe 

Deep beneath soft tissue 
Lays a Scripture 
All the scars healed and forgotten 
Carved on muscle tissue 
It remembers 
Even tho your skin hides it 
Your spirit remembers 
That's why at night when you sleep your body slithers 
Quivers and convulses 
Mind screaming because it remembers 
Your night terrors warn you 
It's not over there's still evil 
Lurking trying to kill you 
Your demons will always follow you 
Haunting you 
You have victims 
Blood stains your soul and hands 
The souls you carry weight heavy and 
There's no forgiveness
