Inner Demon

You have really shed your skin

And now I’ve seen the demon within

You’ve changed, I don’t know where to begin

There’s fire in your eyes and hooves on every limb

Creature stripped of all feeling

Beast without sense of meaning

Demon, now I know your name.

My love is threatened by this cruel revelation

Your eyes reveal a kind of twisted elation

I sense the beast within your skin is starting to tire of its patience

And my pure soul will feel a new and sweet degradation

Creature stripped of all feeling

Beast without sense of meaning

Inner you is so revealing

Common sense is less appealing

Demon, now I know your name

Wait, I recognise your sin

And fate has brought us back together again

I’d changed, kicked out my humour and my demon friend

There’s not a moment to lose, my demon soul needs nurturing

Creature stripped of all feeling

Beast without sense of meaning

Outer layers are so appealing

Lift me to a higher ceiling

Creature stripped of all feeling

Beast without sense of meaning

Inner you is so appealing

Common sense is less appealing

Demon, now I know your name.
