Life's Demons
People often say that I am just fine
Well all of those who say that have lied
Because you don't know my pain inside
You people don't know my darker side
My second, demonic personality
When I'm sad or angry people see
Formed through the dark past of my life
deaths, traitor's and love's razor knife
My emotions take over and I cannot control
People say they've felt the same but they don't know
What its like to conseal a Demon inside
They just don't know the evil inside me
For all my life I've longed to be free
Only I can really know how it is
To live a life in the shadows and suddenyl see the light
Its almost blinding, I end up confused
I become blinded as to what is true
I don't know the difference between right and wrong
All I can do is fight and write my songs
Its like this in my life almost everyday
I try to decide what path is the right way
But that path is shrouded in mist and fog
Its impossible to see the road, though i've searched so
And whenever I think I've found the way out
It turns out to be an illusion, it makes me want to shout
Its hell for me, I don't understand why
People continue to hate me no matter how much I try
Its time someone pulled the trigger and drop me to the floor
Because there's nothing for me to live for anymore
I've always said I would fight on no matter the pain
But now I'm being flooded in by the rain
My time is coming and I will soon drown
My darker side is starting to break me down
I have no hope left, I wonder why I try to fight
I don't understand why I live through the night
They say you don't know what you have 'til its gone
One of my reasons why I write this song
Because the death of a great man must bewailed
I want to be remembered even though I have failed
Please...remember me for who I once was
Remember the old me because
Although he was filled with hate and pain
He still protected others from cold and the rain
Putting himself in the way of harm, it was his calling
Well, he's taken too much and has finally fallen
Even the strongest of walls can be taken down
The greatest of hearts can still be crushed to the ground
Now he lies bleeding to death in the dirt
Yet people around him ignore how much he's hurt
He screams for help, someone to save his life
Instead, his own comrades stab him with their knife
He, was betrayed by all he protected
Those very same people put him to his death
Alhtough his body remains, he will never be the same
Because his heart is gone, washed away in the rain
And my death has not been mourned, despite all I used to give
For I died before people knew that I lived
Still, although my heart is gone, my spirit can still be saved
its just searching for that someone who will stop all the pain
But who that is, no one will know until he's found
WHo will lift my bloodstained corpse off the ground
I hope to find them soon, or I may at last give up
The reality of it is, my spirit has had enough
It is nearly time to move onto another realm
because the longer I stay here, the more time in hell
Unless I find the one, who will save my life
And give me the handle, rather then the blade of love's knife
Although my body may still walk the Earth,
My heart and spirit is lost in a world filled with mist
The mist surrounds and encases me
And I cannot see the truth behind it...
Well all of those who say that have lied
