I sense your eyes on my flesh,
like a creature seeking through tattered mesh.
I know you're there, stalking and hunting,
My heart races and my knees go weak.
I fall to the ground unable to speak.
I feel the claws start to tear my lung,
I search around trying to find my gun.
Suddenly all I hear is bang, bang, bang.
I look down in cold surprise...
You have won this fight.
I fall to the ground dead. But it is not the end.
I have to be true, I refuse to lie to you.
My Father's heart beat descends and my own heart begins to mend.

With courage I stand.
You will not  **** me, you demon within,
You will come out at my command!
No, longer will I fear you, No longer do I give you a place to stay!
You must get out and leave today!
I am healed! Your power over me is repealed.
My spirit is renewed. Cut the attitude, and get yourself out the door,
And while your at it take your little friends with you,
There's a new sheriff in town; he put me in a gown;
He made me his bride, it doesn't look like I lied;
When I told you your power here is no more, so get yourself out the door.

The battle is won, and I'll fight everyday.
I'll do whatever I have to do stay;
I will have victory! I will never give up.
I was born for so much more,
than these useless anxieties; these demons inside of me;
Of their oppression I will fight till I die,
I promise; no lie. I will never give up. Never. Never. Never.
