Inner turmoil over the abuse of substances

Demon, demon by the night,
He's waiting, he has you in his sight,
He has you dancing in his charm,
He has you thinking you're doing no harm,

When you take the chance and let such evil in,
You break away all that goodness you have within,
A bleeding carcass in his evil eyes,
He laughs every time you cry and wish to die,

He pushes you over that ledge,
He makes you say, "another one won't hurt, just do it, you feel better in the end",
He leaves every time he's made his mark,
He leaves your body, now you have to face his plot,

You have to feel all the pain,
You have to live and walk with shame,
You have to bring yourself to the light,
You have the power to free yourself from his sight,

There is nothing like inner peace,
The freedom to know you can save yourself from such an evil beast.
