The beast within

The calm and the quiet are piercing my ears as I'm left to reflect on the past
The memory of all those bygone years, I should have known it would never last
But I find myself spiraling downward, revolutions of time and space
And I wonder in my dizzying mind how to escape this place
How true it is, the fine line we walk between lucid and insane
How crazy to try to normalize the cruelty, the pain
And yet we all concede, we mask, we hide, we fight
We incessantly try to bury our endless numbing plight
This too shall pass as the saying goes, I'll walk again in peace
But only for a moment, while I soothe and tame the beast
He lies in wait as still as death, he all but disappears
Then he plunges forward and grabs my throat, and justifies my fears
And even in the quietest moments, I lie awake in wait
For he will never let me free, my anguish is my fate
