It sleeps right beside you
Close to the heart
It breaks out the talons
And tears you apart
It follows your mind
Everyday till you fall
It curls up inside you
As you scream through the halls
It's silent as winter
When it's needed the most
It screams while you sleep
Haunting you like a ghost
It's the problem you face
Each day you're alive
It will leave you alone
The day that you die
It's your biggest fear
And your only hope
It's the demon inside you
And it's yearning to cope
