Demons

By Syn

Backed into this corner
Demons feeding on my mind
slither 'round into my eyes
and climbing from behind

These demons torment with their words
and taint my precious soul
charismatic chants hypnotize
consuming my control

I give into these deadly beasts
spread eagled open wide
If not for their eternal life
To death I'd be a bride

    Well written - there is nothing like a good conflict between rival brain streams [good for evil] nicely done [D&A]

    A couple of the lines sound forced, but I like how compact they are. "Spread eagled open wide" is a very good description of vulnerability, for example. Not bad at all. Keep writing.
