I made a deal with the devil
My life hangs by a thread
Couldn't call for another
Someone to save me from this battle

I keep locking her in
Never letting her win
But she would always reign
Self is slowly fading

Every night I spend staring
Spacing out and grumbling
She wants to get out
The temptation's so loud

I find it hard to fight it
Can't seem to defeat her darkness
There she stood admist
Wearing a smile no one could resist

She paints a pretty face
But there's more under the surface
A glint of pure wickedness
Masked with sham playfulness

Burning wet eyes
I cry every night
Enduring the pain inside
She's eating me alive

She's the forbidden
Yet she longs to be out
I can't help but listen
To the words that she shouts

Darling, let me in
She calls for my name
I'm trying so hard denying
But she is a beast untamed

Please set me free
I hear her once again
Voice singing with glee
Sounding like a strange melody

I battle with myself every night
When no one's around or nearby
No one would hear my scream
She's begging to be out anytime

She invades my dream
Saying she's the queen
I am a hopless warrior slaying
A malevolent beast forever living

I will forever be chained
Lost under her enchantment
I was long gone and slain
But I want to be back again

Oh! She keeps coming back
Had me broken and stoled my luck
She keeps on barging
Kicks my hope away and leave me bleeding

This life I do not merit
Inflicts pain beyond my limit
I could not breathe
She's going to take me

She hungers for my innocence
Envies my freedom
Feeds on my million fears
And fills me with pressure and pain

She keeps on knocking
Kicking down my door
She keeps on persuading
As I try hard resisting

Her creeping hands reach for me
Blood shot eyes staring at me
Letter-perfect lips so deceitful
Asking me to set her free
