Primal

Listen, Raven
Can you hear me deep inside?
I'm the demon raging strong
I'm the thing you try to hide

Day and night, I stir within
I whisper words you can't ignore
The more you bar, the harder I push
Soon, you'll cage me nevermore

Don't bother calling your friends
They can't save you from your past
I never sleep, I never stop
And day by day, you're sinking fast

Face it, Raven, I'll never leave
I'm part of you in every way
Every strand of your dark hair
Your violet eyes, each breath you take

I'm sorry we can't get along
I wish you would embrace your beast
Each emotion you restrain
Tears your heart, piece by piece

It's all right, Raven, take your time
Figure out just what you'll do
I'm waiting here for your next move
I'm ready, Raven, how about you?
