[Verse]
It scratches my ribs like a caged beast
Whispering lies that never cease
A shadow grows when the lights are low
But I won’t let it
No I won’t let it go
[Prechorus]
It pulls my strings
It knows my name
But I’m not playing its twisted game
[Chorus]
The demon inside me screams and shouts
It’s clawing to break free
To get out
But I can’t let it
No I can’t let it
I’ll lock the door and I’ll forget it
[Verse 2]
Its voice is sweet like poisoned wine
It says the dark is where I’ll shine
But I’ve seen the wreckage it leaves behind
And I won’t let it
I’ll keep it confined
[Bridge]
Chains on my soul
I hold them tight
Fighting the shadow
Chasing the light
It wants my heart but it can’t win
This war rages only deep within
[Chorus]
The demon inside me screams and shouts
It’s clawing to break free
To get out
But I can’t let it
No I can’t let it
I’ll lock the door and I’ll forget it
