Inside

Claws scrape the inhside
Of my aching ribs
The animal I try to hide
Awoken by your sin
It howls to be freed
Waiting to wreak havoc
Destruction is the need
The aftermath tragic
I can feel it like a fever
Infecting me with hatred
Burning like ether
For all you have forsaken
I pray for peace
A way to sleep
A lock and key
To stop this beast
