He creeps into your vision with a slight smile When you're almost least expecting him Sometimes you don't even know he's there Sometimes he's just a shadow with a knife "Hold on you need that" he whispers as your mind starts to spin To a point where you can't think about anything else "You know you need it" the echo in the back of your mind Not sure of who's making the sound Sometimes you see him in others When their eyes light up with malice Sometimes he's not as strong He plays nice, for the few that are worthy and in that moment he helps "Such a pretty little thing" the voice creeps across you're mind but you're unaware someone else is speaking. "Don't you need her?" He's there but some don't notice Some don't even worry about it they just take what he whispers in mistake it's their own voice speaking He's a cute little pesky demon Clouding your vision in all types of form The need, the desire, the yearning It's a game you see played by someone else just below the threshold of conciseness

He creeps into your vision with a slight smile When you're almost least expecting him Sometimes you don't even know he's there Sometimes he's just a shadow with a knife "Hold on you need that" he whispers as your mind starts to spin To a point where you can't think about anything else "You know you need it" the echo in the back of your mind Not sure of who's making the sound Sometimes you see him in others When their eyes light up with malice Sometimes he's not as strong He plays nice, for the few that are worthy and in that moment he helps "Such a pretty little thing" the voice creeps across you're mind but you're unaware someone else is speaking. "Don't you need her?" He's there but some don't notice Some don't even worry about it they just take what he whispers in mistake it's their own voice speaking He's a cute little pesky demon Clouding your vision in all types of form The need, the desire, the yearning It's a game you see played by someone else just below the threshold of conciseness
