A Change Is Coming

Devil in my ear.
Sorry but I feel a change is near.
A change in motion, a shift in gear.
I'm no longer the same lonesome boy feeding you fear.
I've even changed my name, and cut my long hair.

I was born to be loved, but made to feel grudged. You've taken my soul and tainted my blood.

You're the fire in my bones.
The ice in my heart.
The chains on my wrists, that rip me apart.

Demon on my back.
I'm letting you go.
You've poisoned my roots, it's time that I grow.

It's my fault for letting you in.
You gave me to darkness, bad vices and sin.

You've cut me and beat me and left me with scars. You've altered my fate written up in the stars.

I've strayed from my journey.
I'm way off the map.
I fell off my horse while you laughed and you clapped.

Devil on my tail.
Please cut me some slack.
I've fallen so hard.
It's time I bounce back.

I'm cutting you loose.
That's my resolve.
A change is coming.
It's time to evolve.
