The Devil Inside

Upon defeating the devil within himself.
He couldn't help but see the devil all around.
Perhaps the devil is here nor there but everywhere.

Just like god speaks to us clear 
the devil searches for something to mirror.
Remember the past when you couldn't write.
How about when you lost every fight?

Oh but devil I don't listen to you now.
The future is clear you probably wonder how?
Every time you remind me of a time from before, 
I remind myself, I have already closed that door.

I focus on what is before me, 
and throw away the key
For there is no past to return to 
Just a future to look forward to.
