There's a demon waiting in the dark
To drag me down the pit
Of desperation and despair
He's there, I'm sure of it.

He sits there, hiding out of sight
But I can feel he's near.
He waits for me to drop my guard,
To feed upon my fear.

To feast upon that shred of hope,
That she will stay with me
To eat away my will to live
And then extinguish me.

I'll fight you off, you ugly beast,
I cannot let you be,
That shard of hope shall pull me through,
Even if she goes from me.

For even if she goes away
I know that she will hurt,
To know that you have beaten me
And hid me in the dirt.

For even if she goes away,
My love will never cease.
So go away, my deadly friend
And let me be at peace.
