The Demon Within

Do you feel that presence flowing over you?
Like a chilling wave of terror
There's nothing you can do
To escape that masquerade
You portray behind the veil of your souls decay

When will you see
That this life you live is nothing but a lie
And something evil lurks beneath the surface
Of your skin?

You're only lying to yourself
Attempting to believe a facade
To cover up what you are
But I know what is in your head
And I know these screams are deafening

What do you think of when you hear them scream your name
Do you sit back quietly hoping they will abstain?
Or do you shout back in an attempt
To go against the grain?

We were born as something pure
We've evolved into the fucking damned

Do you actually believe that evil lies only in dreams
Do you actually believe that evil lies only in dreams
Do you actually believe that evil lies only in dreams
Do you actually believe that evil lies all in your dreams

What have I become?
Something twisted and contorted
I never that this would be the outcome of my actions
Each one slowly is eating away at my conscience.

I am
The abomination
I have let myself create.

Welling up inside my chest
A feeling that will never rest
I feel the hatred and the rage
Trapped inside this fucking cage
And if I should become the damned
Let the wretched fear my hand
I've let this demon inside my mind
This world will fear me in due time.
