The Devil Appears

My mind's in a mess, so cluttered with worry

Can't handle the stress, reasoning's gone blurry

The strings of my mind, break one by one

Myself I must find, livings no longer fun.

Falling through darkness, no landing in sight

This world is my weakness, my eyes see no light.

Is it angels I hear, or devils in the dark

Tell me what to fear, the flood or the ark.

The tightening noose bite's into my neck,

God, cut me lose, I shouldn't die yet.

No air in my lungs, I'm weakening fast,

My life's just begun, that step was my last.

The Devil appears from deep in his lair,

Now that I'm here, I wish I were there.
