The blue demon

Hey blue teeth demon
Using the darkness of the mind as sanctuary
There's nowhere safe
For this brain is sovereign and loyal

Out you jump to bear your teeth when there's a blessing
Yet none grip in fear at your appearance
Demon you may not take up residence in any mind
Least of all mine

And emptiness comes and goes like rubbish trucks humming along inevitable
But violence of the soul is something that we no longer buy the ingredients for
The blue writing under the sleeping you is a false covenant that you must suffer again
but a fair few nightmares you relive in vain

And as it's blue flame and not yellow
And the thing that lurks is not mystery
but to the truest part of my real spirit it is blasphemy yes blasphemy
Not the wonder of children where new worlds are created

Not the checkerboards of generations giving gifts
even after death... Nay it is none of these spirit bounties
but a destroyer that would lay waste were it not for the strong arm
which pushes the strong hand

The demon which cannot bear the flavor of love
The demon is slowly extinguished writhing
I stamp the last little sign of life out of the demon
It thought there would be space here, yet only for love

Never can it live again here
No amount of turmoil
No whim desire
No fleeting care to flaunt, I put it into the flame from whence it came

Life will be humble
Life will heal me
Life will know I'm not alone
Life is my only hope
