Lyrics The Demon Inside - Shylock

Why?
Why can't I find?
Why can't I find peace of mind in my time of need?
I need to figure out why I'm freaking out inside of me
A demon's on the loose wreaking havoc inside of me
I'm pleading for help in my time of need, just be with me

Why?
Does this happen all the time?
Why does this happen all the time in the middle of the night?
When I'm alone in the dark and creatures shadows lurking right outside
Of my front door, on the porch
I just can't take it, oh the horror
Oh please
Release me from these demons, Lord
Forever more

Please
Just let me breathe
Please just let me breathe, God you know this isn't easy
If you've seen me then you know that I'm deserving of a peace within me
If you're watching then you see me, like a bad dream
On the outside I'm silent, but inside I'm screaming

Oh Please
Just let me breathe
Please just let me breathe, all I need is a little one
To let me know that my days of breathing hasn't had its run
This demon's suckin' up all my air, snatched it from my lungs
And leaves me here breathless once again, and I've come undone

Stop
I can't take it anymore
It's like the barricades have broken, nothing's left to hold the fort
After all these years, I don't even know what I'm fighting for
All my power had in store has been maxed out, it's out the door
No point in running for my life, I know my time is running short

Stop
I just can't take it anymore
You see me always forcing out a smile so that no one knows
I stand alone here in the center of a broken home
But no one's home, I don't even know how long I've been alone
On my own until you come by to drop a stone
Gone
