demons
walking down a backstreet
had to quench my thirst
for alcohol or devils dust
which one would be first
it was then i heard the music
i forgot why i was out
my demons were in check now
t'was the music....there's no doubt
a backstreet bar
a dim lit stage
a singer singing
full of rage
demons screaming
hers and mine
i stumbled in
I had time
anger, venom
loud and strong
bass line pounding
pulled along
demons quelled
to say the least
this music tamed
my savage beasts
i sat and listened for a little while
i got a beer, it cost a smile
the waitress knew why i was here
i guess she figured, one free beer
the singer tore the stage apart
songs from her soul, not from her heart
she took a break and that was when
my demons found the night again
shaky, jitters
couldn't sit
couldn't focus
not a bit
cold sweats, cramping
demons caged
and then again
she took the stage
anger, venom
loud and strong
bass line pounding
pulled along
demons quelled
to say the least
this music tamed
my savage beasts
i knew the battle i would lose
my hunger was too strong
brought in line for a short time
by a singer and her songs
tomorrow night another war
between the hell in me
would my demons be calmed down
or would they be set free?
