Devil Inside
You will eat me slowly so I feel the pain.
Then break through my skull and devour my brain.
You are the beast within, of which I'm a slave .
On my blood you will binge but its my soul you crave..
You will take and take and take from the ones who loved me the most.
You will turn my name to mud until I'm but a ghost.
You are me now and I am gone.
I was once a beautiful spirit. But now to hell I'm scorn.
