Demons

I’ll tell you where my demons reside
No they don’t reside in some far away land
Nor do they reside in a shoebox under my bed
They reside in my head

My demons tell lies
But in them I confide
My demons devise plans that will bring me to my end
But yet they still are my friends

My demons don’t hide
I know exactly where they reside
Some have names
Some just faces
Some just sit in the deep dark spaces
But it’s in the deep dark spaces where we start and end our negotiations

So when I let you in
Come in have a seat and sip some tea
I’ll reveal what you ask of me
But know that it’s only part of me
Because my demons are the rest of me

I’ll tell you where my demons reside
Some have names
Some just faces 
Some just sit the deep dark spaces
But show you I must not do
For if you went into those deep dark spaces 
You will be filled with terror and anguish

So take hold of the part of me that you do see
Because my demons are the other part of me
And some have names
And some have faces
But some just sit in the deep dark spaces
