I locked the devil inside


I locked the devil inside by: Luis V

I locked the devil inside a cage 

I locked the devil inside and laughed at him

I locked the devil and burned him

I locked the devil but I kept letting my demons back in

I let my demons back in and I can’t help myself

I turn around each coroner and they are there 

I look around and they are always following me

Waiting for the right time to attack me 

Waiting for the right time for me to fail

They laughed at me

They told me I was worthless 

They’re presence are supernatural 

They’re presence choke me up

I cannot breathe in their presence
