LYRICS

Pulling my strings
My invisible puppeteer
I pretend not to listen
But it knows I can hear
The demon inside
The voice in my ear
Murmuring doubt
Whispering fear

It knows I can’t see it
But I know it is there
It’s breath brushes by me
I feel it’s cold stare
The demon inside
Constantly watching me
The beast in my mind
Slowly destroying me

Constantly scratching at the same weeping sore
The voice in my head
My emotional matador

Some things should be forgotten
Sleeping dogs left to lie
But there’s a voice that reminds me
There’s a voice asking why?
It’s asking the questions
That I’ll answer for
It’s a voice I can’t silence,
Avoid or ignore

Constantly scratching at the same weeping sore
The voice in my head
My emotional matador
Constantly scratching at the same weeping sore
The voice in my head
My emotional matador

Something is watching me
Hunting me, haunting me
Something is stalking me
Tempting me, taunting me
Something is prowling
Scowling and growling
Something is waiting
Baiting, berating

Calling my tune
The demon inside my head
Shouting aloud
The things better left unsaid

Constantly scratching at the same weeping sore
The voice in my head
My emotional matador
Constantly scratching at the same weeping sore
The voice in my head
My emotional matador
