Exorcism

Did I wake the devil

Or you instead?

Did I wake the demons

Inside your head?

There never was

A beast under the bed

The monster was waiting

In my head

He’s been lying there for years

Tearing me apart

Controlling my thoughts

And the beating of my heart

Let it out

Did I wake the devil

Or you instead?

Did I wake the demons

Inside your head?

Killed by boredom

That fatal disease

Quenching the fire

Between the sheets

Corroded heartache

Eroded grief

I nail up the door

So you can’t leave

Let it out

And take it all away
