A dragon lurks inside of me,
Clawing to get out.
It sends out flames to sear your face,
It makes me snap and shout.
Its wings, they long to stretch and flap,
To fly away from here,
To camouflage, escape our chains
And then, to disappear.
A dragon lurks inside of me,
I battle her each day.
She rips my sanity apart,
Blasts patience away.
She wills me to devour my young
With words best left unsaid,
Tears down each pitiful defense
I build within my head.
A dragon lurks inside of me,
She's trying to take control.
I cannot lose this battle,
But she's slipping from my hold.
I need a stronger sword
I need a Knight to wield it for me.
Oh Christ, please help me fend her off
Before she can destroy me.
A dragon lurks inside of me,
I am naught but a shell.
The words I say are really hers.
Perhaps you cannot tell,
But every minute of each day
I am becoming tougher.
My heart, my skin, my words, my deeds,
Are all a little rougher.
A dragon lurks inside of me
So watch out when you're near me,
Behind these eyes the flames that glow
Should cause you all to fear me.
A tongue can be as sharp as steel
And deadly to the hearer,
So watch out for this dragon-girl
Please, don't come any nearer.
