I don't own Teen Titans. If I did... Well, you know there would be some very unhappy mothers sending mass e-mail to congressmen about the smut that kids are watching these days... Alas, I can only imagine...

Evil is Essential

I'm the devil's voice whispering in your head

I'm the monster lurking under your bed

Guess who is the lover you hide from mommy and daddy

But if you love me I'll join the skeletons in your closet gladly

I'm the stain on your name

The cheater in every game

I'm the bullet to your brain

I'll take away your pain

But leave you stranded

And abandoned

With nothing but memories

So remember me

When your life splinters and cracks

Because I'll be right back

To kiss away your tears

And revel in your fears

So scream and dream

Of the things that dwell

In the depths of hell

Because for every saint there is a sinner

And a glimmer

Of humanity

And vanity

Because the soul rots

As the blood clots

Over innocence and forgiveness

There is no deliverance

Because I'm the devil's voice whispering in your head

I'm the monster lurking under your bed

Guess who is the love you hide from mommy and daddy

But if you love me I'll join the skeletons in your closet gladly.
