The Evil Within.

by Brian Mackes - Aquarius

I woke up this morning with tears in my eyes,
because I had a nightmare of a monster in disguise.

He was ruthless and cruel, and thought only of himself.
He was driven by desires of his own selfish wealth.

A heartless beast, he was cold as steel,
Compassion and love he could not feel. 


The worse thing about him was the evil within;
This horrible monster has soft human skin.

Then I began to realize, or so it seemed to be,
That this particular monster was living in me.

And he used me to hurt the ones I loved most,
He was My Monster, I was His Host.
