Lyrics: 

 chorus:
Devil inside you
can't find the light you
hide in disguise you
can't find you

verses:

So youre shedding your skin
blinded your eyes
no warmth inside
you try to steal mine

What happened to you?
Why so dark?
Hate so strong
What went wrong?

Slither in shadow
shake of your rattle
you aim to strike
but you cant bite the light.


Devil Inside You

Journey Inward

An actual recording of me arguing with my guides.

Wahwahwah

Oh yeah!

“The Committee of Toxic Thoughts” - Pen and Ink, 2018

“The Committee is now in Session. We are gathered here today to discuss why things are so BAD,” the Chairman of the committee, Ego, announced.

“You are a magnet for bad things because you are sooo good. They are attracted to your goodness and want to destroy it. This isn’t your fault. Bad things just happen to us,” Victim started off the discussion.

“You’re so much better than them. They have so many issues.” Judgement reassured.

“W-what do we do about it? W-what’s going to happen? What if bad things keep happening?” Anxiety questioned frantically. 

“If only we had more money and things to protect us, things could have happened differently,” suggested Desire.

“Things were so much better when we were kids. We were so much happier back then… I wish we could go back...” Nostalgia reminisced.

“We’re all wrong and so stupid!,” scolded Guilt, “This is all our fault. We’ve made so many mistakes and caused so much pain. We keep messing everything up. Why are we like this? Why do we keep messing everything up?”

“You’re right Guilt! Everyone else is so much better than us! We are no good.” Judgement changed sides.

Victim and Guilt  argued over if they were good or bad. Judgement kept switching sides as each made a statement.

Meanwhile, Desire and Anxiety listened to Nostalgia’s stories about the past. They worriedly planned out how they were going to make the future JUST as good as the past. Nostalgia assured them it was pointless and that NOTHING would be as good as the past. 

Ego listened to them all internalizing each statement despite them being contradictory. Things became more and more confusing. Ego couldn’t tell if it was good or bad. It worried simultaneously about the past and the future. It became overwhelmed with all the talking. The perception of life grew darker and darker. 

However, in this darkness, something amazing happened. A little light burned behind Ego. It was always there, but had gone unnoticed for so long.

Self realized itself. 

Self had always thought is was Ego, but now in the contrast of the darkness, it could see the separation.

“I am not any of these thoughts,” Self commanded Ego to say.

The committee grew silent. It became apparent who the real chairman was. 

In this moment of silence, Self experiences self. 

There is no good or bad.

There is no past or future.

It just is.
