Carpe Demon

(album: The Greatest Show Unearthed Returns - 2018)

I have made a bleak discovery
Something dark has possessed me
Requires a host to be set free
I must expel this entity

This has taken root inside my soul
As it slowly climbs a hole
How much longer 'til it takes control?
Now that it's found a brand new home

I'm worried my thoughts are not my own
I'm afraid they won't leave me alone
I fear I may soon be overthrown
Something is inhabiting my bones

Am I able to keep it at bay?
Will it devour me some day?
[?] through and I begin to fray
A guiding hand leading the stray

I'm worried my thoughts are not my own
I'm afraid they won't leave me alone
I fear I may soon be overthrown
Something is inhabiting my bones

Bubbling under the surface
Living on borrowed time
Emerging from the shadows
Burrowing through my mind
Severing the connections
Back up against the wall
Destroying my defenses
Too weak to even crawl

I'm worried my thoughts are not my own
I'm afraid they won't leave me alone
I fear I may soon be overthrown
Something is inhabiting my bones
