I hold him prisoner
locked away inside
amongst the darkest of my heart
and the shadows of my mind
he yells from deep within
he wails his tales of sin
and could cause my tail to spin
if i let him out of his pin
i let him out with the pen
but sometimes it's not enough
this is why for me to be free
i must keep him locked up
and if he ever shall escape
a lot of hell has broken loose
know that you should be afraid
when I'm not walking in these boots
for he walks alone
not even a shadow of doubt
or the light of belief
can keep up when he's out
and only i can stop him
for i am him and he is i
but sometimes we can't concur
and don't see eye to eye
so i hold him prisoner
locked away inside
for he is the darkest of my heart
and the shadows of my mind
