An inner demon I can't control
An inner demon it's taken hold

I feel this evil as it's breaking loose
Mind, body, spirit will be gone with time
I grasp for air as he tightens the noose
He's still with me, my partner in crime

People say he's like a kind of saint
People say he's like a kind of saviour
But inside it has consumed my soul
This is mine, my inner demon

I can feel it as it makes it's way through me
I lose understanding, why do you look at me with your eyes?
Your eyes, so full of rage
I see what's inside me, I see the person I can be

People say he's like a kind of saint
People say he's like a kind of saviour
But inside it has consumed my soul
This is mine, my inner demon

There's a man standing here before me, torn, twisted and tortured inside
Something grips me sudden and sure, this vision I see of a broken man
His face is swollen and tired like mine
His eyes are slowly dying with time
Is this really a vision I see?
Or a once proud man that used to be me
Or a once proud man that used to be me
