Spirals

Spirals

Smiling so polite
to regurgitated lines that we recite
A serene sea 
A tranquil facsimile
That's what you see
That's what I show
all so you don't know

In the mirror I see fire
I see hate 
A self-portrait of fear?
Or just the demon getting near

I'm losing my control
Will the savage show?
Through spirals of malcontent
fighting the noise inside my head 

I went for a quiet stroll
Never knowing where
My feet may go
Through streets of yesteryear
or into the darkness that I fear

I'm losing my control
Will the savage show?
Through spirals of malcontent
fighting the noise inside my head 

When the knives come out
with a smile
Slicing through skin
Making me grin

I'm losing my control
Will the savage show?
Through spirals of malcontent
fighting the noise inside my head 

In the mirror I see fire
I see hate 
A self-portrait of fear?
Or just the demon 

getting near
