I run through the darkness
I run through the sunlight
I run through the streets
with all my crazy might

The devil chases me
in all forms and shapes
the devil is everywhere
disguised in colourful drapes

The devil in the temple
asking for money to be worshipped
The devil in my school
caning me when my marks dipped
The devil in the books i read
forcing me to believe them myths

The devil in my friends
judging me through the coloured lens
The devil in the movies
showing me those dreams hence
The devil in everything that surrounds
the cacophony of noise and I drown!

I am home, I am safe
locked in my room alone at last.
Looking at the mirror I see his face,
The devil smiling and then a blast.
With them devils outside I could win,
but how could i escape the devil within?
