The Demon Within
There's a darkness inside me.
Surrounding me, an unearthly quiet.
There's a chasm of indifference
between me and this life.
All the while I wonder,
can they see my warring heart?
Do they see the darkness,
that's consumed me from the start.
/
Inside me there's a rumbling,
it's behind that sealed door.
Loneliness is a war I fight,
and no one knows the score.
No one knows the heinous sight,
of the hellish anger scorned.
/
Every time I see their faces,
I know they see my pain.
They don't know what it takes,
to keep the wrath at bay.
There's this searing feeling,
that I get when I'm alone.
There's this voice I hear,
it's like a thunderous roar.
/
Around me there's a lurking tomb.
It's getting ever closer,
the hell from the fire room.
I can hear the gloomy whisper,
Yet I won't slow 'til I wake
my innate gift of power.
In the end I wonder,
no matter how many dreams I make,
will it just be me and you,
after a journey of great heartache.
You've caused me grief untold,
isolation without measure,
but I will remain bold.
With all you have unleased,
Amid all my friends behold,
it's still me as the demon beast.
/
You are the one who knows,
and examines my darkest soul.
My secret fears of woe,
you use to twist and control.
You're ever desiring to sunder,
all the noble hopes I hold.
I will climb above your rage,
my life and love is greater,
than your grievous blazing cage.
