Devils?
There’s a devil on my back
And there are devil’s on my mind
Where have all the angels gone?
They have all left me behind
And everyday is such a fight
Amongst good and bad and me
I want to emerge strong, to win
But they’re always hurting me.
I am so sore
From this long war
I want to drown and end it all;
My body’s used
Been so abused
I need to heal and start anew
My soul is numb from all the pain
That’s been inflicted over time
I am aching for the sweet release
To escape this hell of mine
I can swallow no more tears or pride
Or hide behind this mask of lies
This perfection which I portray
I’ve become to despise.
Will someone come and save me now
Will someone please release my heart?
These chains which bind me from a life
That’s pure and sweet and true?
I’ve been down for so very long
I have no strength to go on
I’m waiting to be swept away
Up to a better place
My dreams have faded
My hopes are gone
My mind is sick
My body’s frail
My heart is weak
My flesh is cold
I am such a waste of life
