Little demon trying to get the best of me
He's in me and everyone and it's so easy
To give root to the cause of my frustration
To look to him for my outside validation
He won't stop talking or quit his mocking
He is a cancer that simply won't stop growing

Too much time to dwell and it won't help
Idle time makes for the Devil's perfect hell
Pitch-fork tongue and ravenous with greed
Why, all the better to eat another's dreams
I'll find an outlet that produces positivity
Kickboxing for fun and sprinting for soliloquies

Yes, this little monster is trying to outsmart me
He'll realize soon that he's wasting his energy
No, I won't give in, though I might slip or fall
Yes, I might lose my way but I won't lose it all
I'll drown out his taunting with the sickest of beats
Better yet, I'll destroy and make him beg for defeat!
