Our homage to an all-time classic in the literary and cinematic world. The Exorcist.

lyrics

It sharpens its teeth on my soul
Gnawing as it tightens its hold
Then picks out the bad meat from my bones
A stench more powerful than the evening before
Tapping its fingers to the beat of what's swelling in my chest
Swallowing again before it spits out the rest.

There's a creature inside of me.
Crawling its way out, as of yet it's only ever stuck its arm from out my mouth.

It wants to get out of me
get out of me and into
It wants to get out of me!
out of me and into you!

But I won't share, I'm not yours to take out of this body I'll leave nothing in my wake.
Until it rots and lies stinking in the earth
I'll course through these veins and make everything shake.
(If you’re the devil, why not make the straps disappear? That’s much too vulgar a display of power, Karras.)
I occupy the space where human nature would have been.
(The sow is MINE)
To be heard and to be seen, I yearn to be felt and to be free

I want more, I want it all I want a physical form
I want out, I want it now and I want more than just a mouth

How long before it notices the scars?
How long before it goes for the heart?
How long? An arm out from my mouth.
How Long? More than just a mouth.

There's a creature inside of me.

Crawling its way out, as of yet it's only ever stuck its arm from out my mouth.
I want more, I want it all I want a physical form
I want out, I want it now and I want more than just a mouth
