Demons- ID

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

At the curtain’s call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide

Author's Note

when the Demons are gone and the Ones we love die...
there is no turning back.
you can do nothing but run.
but for sure you can try to be yourself
and get off of the ground and try.
-Donnie/Donnatello TMNT

Nah, I never post lyrics, it's probably because I'm too lazy to look them up or listen carefully. XD

Great write, good rhyming, can you make the demons leave as soon as possible, it scares me, enjoyed, poem with a true message

[Talia The Hedgehog]

thank you. have you read the little memo on my reveiw thing?

Yes I did, it was too strong for me to digest at present, rebellious now , not for good, intentionally pretended as I did not read it, you are telling true message through the foot note
