The Devil In Me


What do you do when the devil becomes a part of you?

Do you cringe in fear?

Smile in the face of danger?

Or do you simply give in?

Do you remain forever in the dark,

Waiting for an angel to rescue you

Can you be rescued?

You’re forevermore frozen in darkness

There’s no hope for you

He has you, and there is nothing you can do

You gave in

Whether you want to believe it or not, you gave in

Your life belongs to him now

No hesitation

No restraints

Just pain

You did this to yourself

You were scared,

Lonely,

And desperate

Your vulnerability made it so damn easy

And now, you shall forever see that monster within you

You’re no longer in control

You’re just another host for the true master

He’ll just leave you screaming in the dark, wishing he’d come back

He consumed everything in you

Your smile,

Your will to live,

And your heart

He’s the only one that an fill the void in your soul that he created

All you want is to be whole again,

A chance to prove me wrong

And take back control

But baby, you’re dead

And he’s never coming back to right any wrongs

Who’s going to slay the dragon now?

Will it be you?

Are you our Arthur?

Or our David?

Will you slay the beasts?

Or will you just be another victim?

Don’t be fooled by his charm

He’ll kill you before you can say “Hi”

Then you’ll be one of us,

Just another trophy to brag about

Long live the master

Long live the king

*whisper* Slay our beast
