Demon Within

[Intro] [Verse 1] In the silence of my mind, behind closed eyes, Sits the one who waits — patient, never bored. He whispers to me in the night when the world falls asleep, That everything I hide — belongs to him. He knows every fear, every crack in the wall, Every sin buried deep in my soul. He's not a guest, but a dark master in my quiet sanctuary, And the key to the bars — is in his hand. [Chorus] He only seeks a reason — one single cause, To break free outside and take hold of me. I feel how he lives inside me, how he waits, This demon in me — he's always with my shadow. [Verse 2] I feed him with the lies I hide in silence, I sing him lullabies with my soothing words. He feeds on the anger I conceal from the world, And grows like a shadow consuming the light. He whispers: "Let me in" — every single second, He knocks on my veins, he pounds in my chest. I know — one day I'll open the door for him, And the world will tremble at what comes out from within. [Chorus] He only seeks a reason — one single cause, To break free outside and take hold of me. I feel how he lives inside me, how he waits, This demon in me — he's always with my shadow. [Bridge] But my mind starts to slip, then all thoughts in my head: Maybe the demon is not my enemy? Maybe he's the only one who knows the truth? Maybe he's the voice I'm afraid to hear? Maybe he's the part of me I've been destroying for so long? [Verse 3] I can't anymore — I'm tired of the weight. I close my eyes and see his face. He smiles at me — and I stand paralyzed in return, And this is the moment you run from your whole life. [Chorus] He's no longer seeking a reason — he's already here, He's no longer waiting — he was always inside me. And in this darkness I found my demon, And understood: to live — you must stop being afraid of yourself.
