I feel evil lurking

I warn those close to me

They seem to frown, just slightly

And ask what's wrong with me. 

I feel evil smirking

it's whispering in my ears

The world looks so normal

But it's not as it appears. 

I feel evil moving

it's burrowing in my skin

I prayed and prayed to Jesus

But Satan let it in. 

I feel evil growing

in the hollows of my heart

Is it inside me or inside you?

I can't tell us apart. 

I stand out in the cold harsh wind

asking everyone my name.

The legions lockstep past me,

In the mirror we look the same. 

The serpent twists about me

and sings so sweet and low

It sings to me of knowledge

Of things I shouldn't know. 

I feel evil in me!

I cry, "help" to all I see

They look like me, I look like them

I struggle to get free! 

I plead to those around me

Their faces turn away.

So I take my gun and shoot them. 

There's just nothing left to say.
