There’s a demon sitting on my shoulder
Whispering things and it’s getting bolder
A susurrus of dark and dangerous things
Makes the sinner in me want to come out and sing
And it’s getting stronger (you know you want to…)
Leaving its score on dark parts to remind me
Desire for such is within not behind me
Right now I know I’m the one in control
Of what’s clawing and braying to get to my soul
But for how much longer? (you know you want to…)
There’s a demon sliding along my spine
Twixt my head and my heart claiming “both will be mine”
I’m crying for the call of it chills me
I’m lying for the call of it thrills me
And it’s getting stronger (you know you want to…)
Though I feel the rumble of defiant laughter
I do not give in to the dark it’s after
But for how much longer? (you know you want to…)
I feel the scratching on the surface of my skin
Hear the voices dripping with inevitable sin
Scraping and tearing at what fight’s left within
Let me in! Let me in! Let me! Let me in!
No!
Let me in! Let me in! Let me! Let me in!
Nooooooo!
Let me in! Let me in! Let me! Let me in!
Nooooooooo…
There’s a demon crawling under my skin (you know you want to…)
A sadistic lover calling from within (you know I want to…)
And it’s getting stronger (I know you want to…)
Ooooooooooooh…
Not much longer (I know I want to…)
Ooooooooooooh…
I know I want to…
Oh
I want to…

Raivenne-lations 
t carried me quite along, Pacing excellent.
Thanks Nan.
Yes, I really think you do…;)
Lead me not into temptation Tim, 🙂 Thanks.
Wow, I love this, Raivenne…I could feel the pressure building and building. A battle with your conscience…between good and evil? But I still wondered just what could be so bad if you did want to…
Thanks, Bodhirose, but I’m not gonna sin and tell. 😉
Wow! Great build up of intense. Phew. This piece left me gasping for air, really!
Phew indeed – now inhale. Thanks Maria.
Awesome. Lol just do it
Ha! This isn’t Nike woman – thanks!
A demon entering like that – what a chilling pace, where the rhymes contrast so well, almost like an evil lullaby… Love it.
“An evil lullaby” I love that! Thanks Björn.
This is so raw so chilling… I can feel the tension building up as we read along the lines.. kudos!!
Thanks Sanaa!
I like the sadistic lover part – you know you want to – very naughty 🙂 Yes I also like how the tension builds – you end with a bang ( or do you 😉 )
This made me literally laugh out loud. Thanks Victoria, like I told Bodhirose above I’m not gonna sin and tell… 😉
Glad to have made you laugh! Very creative piece!
I want to, too…. You carried me along very straggly here… Great write! With Best Wishes Scott http://www.scotthastie.com
HAH! Do you really, Scott? 😉 Thanks.
A wonderful, exciting, scary tempo to this. The repetition of ‘(you know you want to…)’ and this verse ‘I’m crying for the call of it chills me
I’m lying for the call of it thrills me’
Wonderful…
Thanks Freya, I’m glad you enjoyed the descent into depravity lol
Yikes. The rhythm and words combined perfectly to freak me out. Whew. *shudder*
