Inner Demons - Texas In July

Flourishing in my new surroundings

Growing into unfamiliar skin

Finding a glow in a part of me

In places I have never been

Everyday’s a quest for stability

Hoping it’s haven of our own

Everyday’s a quest for stability

Hoping it’s haven of our own

Sometimes we travel far and wide

To seek out our hopes and dreams

And we beg our destructive nature

To please let us be

So I conceal this notion

Clench my fists and grit my teeth

And not let this avalanche of emotion

Take over me

Liberate me

Confusing arrogance with confidence

Tear me in two

Defeated past attempts of permanence

What do I do?

I am the skin in your teeth.

I am the look of defeat

I’m your nightmare unleashed.

I am the sword in the sheathe

I am the lust in sheets.

I am the pride underneath

I am the wrath on repeat.

I am the eyes when you cheat

I am the darkest streets.

I am the goal unreached

I am the waves on the beach that swept you out to sea

Although I guarantee that I can be freed

Let go of regret that’s haunting me

Sometimes we travel far and wide

To seek out our hopes and dreams

And we beg our destructive nature

To please let us be
