Soul Split

There's a darkness, within my heart
A shadow, a presence, that tears me apart
It lurks and it waits, for the moment to strike
A monster, a demon, that I can't ignite

It whispers secrets, in my ear
Of violence, rage, of fear
It tells me to do, what I shouldn't do
To give in to the darkness, that's inside of me too

I fight against it, with all my might
But it's a battle, that I can't win in the night
It consumes me, it controls me, it takes me over
A force, that I can't ignore, or discover

I fear, what I might become
A monster, a demon, a never-ending sum
Of violence, rage, and fear
A prisoner, of the darkness, that's always near

So I hide, in the shadows of my mind
And pray, that the monster I'll one day find
A way to tame it, to control it, to make it mine
A force, that I can use, to walk the line
