My once kind companions, now won't cross my door
With demons in tow, I'm a fright to behold
Anger and regret ooze from every pore
With smiles and handshakes, we did once explore
Adventures and laughter, in stories told
I used to have friends, now I show up with demons galore
But my mind soon cracked, and I could no more
Hide my rage, my pain, I couldn't withhold
Anger and regret ooze from every pore
Though the demons bring comfort, and they implore
Me to stay furious, and never grow old
I used to have friends, now I show up with demons galore
So I'll keep raging, keep slamming the door
The world can't take me, but these horrors can hold
Anger and regret ooze from every pore
They say I'm tormented, that I should explore
A life without hate, one that isn't so cold
I used to have friends, now I show up with demons galore
Anger and regret ooze from every pore.
