The beast inside of me

It awakens when my mind is altered

drunk and completely blacked out

the monster that cant be me

 

stress builds and things go without being said

so nobody know because its all in my head

just a few shots bring out the evil that cant be me

 

I hold it inside until I drive myself crazy

then nobody sees it coming

the monster is raging

 

I has to be me because I am to blame

Though I wouldn't do that if the beast were tame

I will destroy it now before it destroys me

 

Its mean and hateful and has no mercy

this terrible demon, by which I am ****** it vain

Someone always gets hurt, though I feel the worst

 

The beast inside of me is driven by pain

it dwells within me and I don't know its name

all I know is it cant be me, this horrible thing

 

It will destroy me if I don't have control

I will lose everything, my family and home

the one that I love will finally give up

 

I will become what I have never wanted to be

this burden I will conquer, the beast inside of me..
