I Am Your Demon<br /> I am the shadow that lurks in the night<br /> I am the darkness that brings terror, fright<br /> I am the demon that comes in your dreams<br /> I am the horror that thrives from your screams<br /> I am the monster that lurks in your mind<br /> Inside of your mirror I&#039;m not hard to find<br /> I am the nightmare inside of your soul<br /> I am the anger raging out of control<br /> I am your demon, your mirror, your shade<br /> You cannot control me, my presence shan&#039;t fade<br /> I am you nightmare, your shadow, your dream<br /> I am your voice, your vision, your scream<br /> I am the madness inside of your head<br /> I shall stay here inside you until you are dead<br /> Tim Vallie

I will wait for this moment when our lips collide and almost stop the Earth, you&#039;re in my arms tonight. So I&#039;ve come to complicate the dead, are you with me? I&#039;ve written out all my vows again.
