We carry the demons with us

We know the transgressions, seen them, heard them, felt them

We know that everyone has their cracks, the flaws

The guilt, the pain, the terror, only known to us

We feel where the shadow lurks

To be at the bottom of the filth

We know if we let go, nothing changes

There is no hope

For I am the shadow that lurks

Carrying the demons we all hide
