Tonight, my demons danced throughout the halls of my insanity
Enticing and awakening my slumbering duress
Delighted to be roaming free despite the chains they're shackled in
Knowing that the key to freedom lies in my distress
Those oh so sneaky devils slipped the doubts and memories in again
Just a morsel at a time, until it grew into a feast
The tickle of the trickle as the madness spread like emptiness
Delivered me so quickly to the belly of the beast
Soon I fully realized the damage I was taking
As they sank their teeth into the memories that hurt the most
And the future seemed much further than a dream after awakening
Threatening to fade out like a long forgotten ghost
I struggled and I raged, and finally caged my demons once again
But not without a scar or two upon my weary hide
So do not mistake my limp in stride as weakness or as failure
It but represents my victory over the enemy inside
