Skeleton Key

The demons inside me that keep appearing
Are quickly put back to sleep
Although my smile isn't reassuring
You see the mystery in my eyes that I keep
Take my voice if you will, I don't need it
You can take my sanity as well
The skin on your wrist is suddenly slit
And everyone wonders how you fell
I don't know who you think you are
Trying to control me like you do
Just remember those demons aren't too far
I can unleash them and this much is true
I don't enjoy the company you bring
I don't like the subtle lies you're telling
You think I can't see past your fake smile
Well the poison hasn't been unleashed in awhile
It's a tale to tell if you make it out alive
But you're not keeping anything more from me
To keep my powers hidden is to deprive
And I'm about to show you what I can truly be
Skeleton key, how you've helped me so
You know my wishes without me saying anything
And you ask of me how I stoop so low
But I really can't feel a thing
Don't fool yourself with make-believe
Because I'm not playing any kind of game
How in the world could you be so naive?
When, without a voice, I call out your name?
So silent your scream because you know of your end now
But in this land of imagination, I will never bow
Know your limits before it's too late
But I suppose for you, it's already close to fate
So save your breath, no need to fight
You won't live past this horrid night
From dusk to dawn, I rise once more
My key to destruction behind a locked door
And you suppose it will be forgotten at all?
I'm not satisfied with what I've done yet
And I will keep watching you slowly fall
Because I am the one you'll not soon forget...

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is about spirits living amongst us and being able to control what we see and feel. I believe in ghosts and honestly they don't scare me at all. I believe that they are surrounding us, the ones that have not yet passed on. Strange things happen sometimes. I've never seen possession take place in person but I do believe it can happen. It's mostly just how you look at things, if you believe in something then it's there.
