Inner Demons (Texas in July)

Flourishing in my new surroundings Growing into unfamiliar skin Finding a glow in a part of me In places I have never been Everyday's a quest for stability Hoping it's haven of our own Everyday's a quest for stability Hoping it's haven of our own Sometimes we travel far and wide To seek out our hopes and dreams And we beg our destructive nature To please let us be So I conceal this notion Clench my fists and grit my teeth And not let this avalanche of emotion Take over me Liberate me Confusing arrogance with confidence Tear me in two Defeated past attempts of permanence What do I do? I am the skin in your teeth. I am the look of defeat. I'm your nightmare unleashed. I am the sword in the sheathe. I am the lust in sheets. I am the pride underneath. I am the wrath on repeat. I am the eyes when you cheat. I am the darkest streets. I am the goal unreached. I am the waves on the beach that swept you out to sea. Although I guarantee that I can be freed. Let go of regret that's haunting me. Sometimes we travel far and wide To seek out our hopes and dreams And we beg our destructive nature To please let us be
