Demon Fear
Demon fear clings to my shoulder
Riding on my back as I run from it
Determined jagged claws break flesh
Desperately trying to hold me back
Rabid unearthly animal instinct
Grips me as I try to flee
Holding me back, I cannot run
Driving me on
How can I cheat fear?
Stand up or cower in the dirt
Let it destroy me
Or face my inner nemesis
I must plunge this dagger
Born of summoned courage
Deep into the heart of inner madness
Its blood flows away like its hold on me
Animal instinct, demon fear
Hot breath and adrenalin
To protect and to survive
Is my only remaining drive
Pulse is pounding, clammy sweat
Blood is coursing, senses reeling
Lie and cheat and steel
Murder to survive
