Inner Demons

This day I dread
Tears I shed
Tis never to be spoken oath again
Til one is dead
Nor a hundred more
Or far as I see through the corridor
You see these threads?
These tiny silver spider webs?
That's all that's left of my friends
Nothing but dust
Left me to rust
Wait, more like cobwebs
They fleet like I said
From them do I ebb
Away from me now
Down
Down
Down
Leave me to drown
In these woes
Facing these foes
Like Dante in the pits of Hell,
Leave me in my cell?
Very well
Very well
No family is left
To seize on my breath
And act with haste
Never to waste
Faking folly to paste
Sealing my fate
Stealing my place
Setting my pace
Of torment
I'm dormant
Set me in motion
Feel my emotions
And how they fall
And that's not all
My cage rises despite my backwards smiling
This prophet is beguiling!
Foul thing
He plays my strings
Making me go
Deeper
Deeper
Deeper
My face does stretch
Forever does etch
A perfect picture
A stone like figure
Step up to the plate
Cover my face
And leave me
Ye taunting spectre
Can you not see my tears of stone?
How many should I cry lest they be shone?
Can you not hear my pitiful moans
Of agony? And pain?
Shame?
Tame?
Lame?
Do not question me, beast
Until you know my fears at least
Shall you steal my dreams and cease
To taint me you devil
With your name in my mouth I revel
Stop playing like you're up a level
Bedevil
Stop dragging me in your misery
I don't care to see where it leads
Deeper and deeper into the seas
Of tears you've forced out of me
And now why can't you see
Alone
Alone
Alone
That's all we are
It was just us right from the start
Now please get off my shoulder
Stop fighting
Tempting
Hiding
Coaxing
Siding
I don't need you two bickering
You're all I have left
You're flickering
Please stop shouting in my head
You're all I have left
Don't make me dead!
I'm sorry
These voices, they are me
They're taking the form of an army
My army of kings men
No...
They're just my demons
