angels and demons

Instinct for battle
But theres no war
It's in my head
I'm the casualty
For all I breed
And its killing me
Singing at a scream
Verses are marring a screen
I cant breathe
And I'm pretending
That this push and shove
Isnt happening
Silence me
Lock me up
I will scream
And I will break out
Even if the prison
Is in my head
I'll always have a safe haven
Somewhere to rest my head
Even in unrest
There are words
I'll never forget
That I will use
To fight to the death
Cos this demon
Is in my head
And is also the angel
In my brain
Love and hate
Are on a thin line
And I will try
To avenge
The murder
In my mind
By resuscitating
The demon back to life
So we can meet
Have a conversation
Maybe eat
Have a reconciliation
And maybe the deafening
Volume wont deafen me
For once
I might breathe easy
I'll fight to the end
But this war
Is in my head
So I dont want the enemy dead
I want to make a new friend
