Inspired by Bukowski's Blue Bird. Revised a bit.
          There's an Evil in my heart that wants to get out.
         It shows me images of war, violence, and suicide.
         There's an Evil in my heart that doesn't rest.
         It gives me feelings of hatred, anger, and derision.
         There's an Evil in my heart that wants to get out.
         I try to keep it deep within. Where nobody will find it.
         Where it cannot cause me to act.
         There's an Evil inside of me that sometimes gets loose.
         It hurts my friends, family and health.
         There's an Evil inside of me that can be contained.
         With booze, women, drugs and music.
         There's an Evil my heart that I try to hide.
         Most will never know it's there.
         There's an Evil in my heart that wants to get out.
         With any luck, you'll never see it.
