noonday devil

I swear this room is empty
But I can hear the voice
And eyes are crawling on me just like flies
Calling into question
Every thought and choice
Telling me that all I know is lies
Dejected and disgusted,
Im inclined to give it up
Whats the use? Why go on? It all means nothing
Im starting to think Ive been deceived
And theres no reason to believe
And all has failed, theres no relief
The tempting whispered thoughts of the Noonday Devil
Am I beyond redemption?
Sick beyond repair?
Is all this just a futile exercise?
If everythings a failure
Then its more than I can bear
To stumble on in search of some false prize
Tear me down, use me up
Break my will, and watch me fall
Wear me out, let me go - the flesh…the flesh is weak
No! I refuse
No! I can do this
No! I will fortify my will
Into an iron tower
Ill put those thoughts out of my head
I wont be given up for dead
Ill focus on the road ahead
Get behind me now
Faith deserts us all sometimes
And demons infiltrate our minds
But Im not gonna lose this time
Im gonna break the back of the noonday devil
