My Inner Demon

Serenity Mondy 2006 (West Plains)

As they eat my lungs
And my chest
I start to wonder what is best
Die or Live
I need something to help me with this
There eating my fear
There eating my face
They say thing I don't want to hear
But can't stand the pain
The Angels gave up
But I don't want to lose
Someone give me a hand
Someone give me a boost
My inner demons can't hide
I can see them in the corner of my eye
The angels lost
The demons lost
I just feel numb
But I don't want to go on
If i'm wrong
Someone tell me it's okay to give up
Just as long as you don't lose the fight
Am I right?
