Demons In My Head

by Amy   Feb 14, 2004


The demons in my head
whisper to me
they tell me to give up
cause no one will ever see

See the pain i feel
hidden deep inside
they tell me i am weak
for all the times Ive cried

The demons in my head
put their fingers through my brain
causing me to gasp
at the sudden rush of pain

Their voices cruel and harsh
never seem to cease
forever always taunting me
i wish to be at peace

They urge me to do it
pick up the blade
drag the knife across my skin
and watch my pain begin to fade

And so i give in
reach for the blade once more
as i do
i get up to lock the door

The sharp and cold edge
slides across my skin
the voices seem to laugh
and tell me i cant win

My blood begins to flow
from the cuts i have just made
i stare upon the other cuts
that forever always stayed

And for that one
brief moment
when my blood starts to flow
the voices in my head
start to fade away and go

But it doesn't last
they soon will start again
whispering to me
i know there is no end

They whisper to me
in a language Ive never heard
but somehow i understand
every single word

They make one thing clear
the demons in my head
they will stay with me
even after i am dead.

Please comment and rate :)
