I look in the mirror

see the demon that lay beneath

no matter how much I try to wash it away

It's a stain on my soul

As the teeth of the handcuffs slowly click

the steel chambers surround my conscious

The brutes, so called Law Enforcement

strip me of my pride

slather blended cloths on my back

and toss me into a metal cage

With concrete walls closing in

metal doors lock

I begin to lose all consciousness

only myself to reflect upon

the true demon reveals itself

The monster inside me seeps through my pores

my flesh becomes rotten and scarred

No longer do my eyes witness myself slip away

and cannot bear to stare at the demon I've become

When I see the rusty gate pull back

the demon I've released puts on a mask

and waits to strike again...
