demons love to burn

demons love to burn

rejoicing in my screams

sometimes it really seems

there is nothing alive in me

but jealousy and pain

and love too blind to see

I keep hurting my dearest friend

till she can't bear to hold me in

torn by ruthless passion

over things that I can't have

my violence comes so fast

that love can never last

demons love to burn

and fill lost hearts with rage

sunny days move into nights

and drinks put life on stage

trying to hide my growing fear

I curse the road

that brought me here

apologies fall lifeless

with excuses worn away

her forgiveness lost again

and tossed upon the pyre

then razed by billowed fire

another time - another turn
