It stops me in my tracks
and gives me panic attacks
Darkness on my mind
keeps me in a bind
I'm not one of those people who
sees no evil, hears no evil
I feel evil
and am a target of the devil
The snake begins to rattle
Signals for a battle
It wants to eat up my resolve
Devour me like cattle
I don't expect applause
when fighting for my cause
I'm only trying to save myself
the way it always was
I failed everyone I love
and blamed everyone I hate
consumed revenge all I could
yet it would not satiate
I hope it's not too late
to change this gruelling fate
Those I love are gone
all I can do now is wait
