Prey

I often wonder what life would be like If I didn't have you And I often ponder what death would be like If I didn't have you Always around To pull me down into the deepest of depth Never apart from the darkest of darkness In which you slept While I remain Awakened Forevermore Forsaken Forevermore Taken Forevermore Mistaken Nevermore For it is my new purpose To be a slave to the pain I paint My soul grows closest to sin I know I'm no South City Saint Born into burden A loner at heart Alive to survive But alone I am not Cuz inside lies a demon As bad as can be I would like for you to meet The worst version of me For years he laid dormant Awaiting to feed Set the table for torment I'm replanting the seed In the brains that he's planning to eat It remains to be seen whether I stand to defeat Or in an unsteady coffin Ready for your involvement Head revolvin He's all around me Guess he found me Used to fall Now I'm bouncing Off the walls I'm denouncing Now announcing I need to keep you grounded This is my mission My words are my bars And my mind is the prison I know I'm only postponing the end No need for me to try to pretend That this room can keep you for good Because it won't I know I'll see you again But until then I will try to begin To live a life of my own And not by your whim I hope that some day I'll get away from the sin The same sin that put us both in the prison we're in I can feel my only light inside starting to dim This is the kind of fight I'm not likely to win The fire's already biting my skin Forever cursed with a plague disguised as a hymn I will remain prey to the Demon Within
