A Demon In Disguise

<center>
Unfamiliar sounds...
My heart beats faster
*
I am a slave
Fear is my master
~
Destruction and mayhem
Play in my head
An evil intruder stands over my bed

I'm paralyzed...
*
My voice no more
To him I'm not real
He settles a score

Infliction of pain...
*
His baser wants
My body grows numb
I reject his taunts
~
I succumb to the chill
Of my spilling life
Blood thirsty stranger with a hunting knife

Go back in time...
*
Say, thirty years
He's a little boy
With innocent tears

An absent father...
*
Assume that much
An abusive mother
A mistaken touch

A rage emerges...
*
From his life of pain
A tortured soul
Drove him insane

Be mindful of a young heart
*
Show pure love, teach them wise
We don't need another monster
Another demon in disguise
