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
