My uneasiness collects like artifacts
With my heart restless as ever before
And all the dopey ones have come out to play
It's bad enough they brought out their demons
Waiting to pounce as each spoke
Seems every demon likes to own a pound of flesh
But I like to keep my issues to myself
Even though I bury them far away
I can't run from the past I've made
And a fool I have been with a veil over my eyes
I have forgotten the confidence I built inside
And the beast has used this to take control
He heard the voice of the devil and became rogue
Nevertheless tonight I'll bury that beast six feet below
Cos with him like that love is such a mournful tune
It has to be done before the devil knows
As a consequence I'll cut my gracious heart
So I won't listen to the words it speaks
Saying lenity! lenity! Compassion and peace
And I'll start again when the deed is done
I'll say a prayer for my issues to remain strong
And let them die with the darkness before dawn comes
Cos it's hard to be free when you got him on your back.
So I'll shake him tonight off and lay back to rest.
