Evil Within

Tear at my flesh
rip apart my skin
see whats underneath
look at all my sin
see the horror that i am
the one that hides inside
can you see what i know is there
I'm just along for the ride
I'm not really in control
it's that thing that you don't see
it's got a death grip on my life
and it has control of me
my actions just aren't my own
to hell with what you thought you knew
throw away all those notions
'cause they just aren't true
this evil that lays inside
it's not what you think
I'm not a psychotic murderer
in shadows i don't slink
this thing that's got me down
emotion is it's name
they run wild in my mind and heart
they play their twisted game
i don't think i ever had control
it was all just a facade
all along I've been the puppet
and they have been the god
you see me on the outside
don't believe, it's all fake
i am the one that hides
the choices, they make
I'm not scared of it anymore
it's too late, I'm locked in
you never have and never will
know the true me, i didn't win
