The Possession (Writer Of The Night)

THE POSSESSION (WRITER OF THE NIGHT) - Written by Carroll Bryant


Holy sweet persistence 
I'm running out of time
Damn you sick insistence 
I'm going out of my mind

Who's that, that I talk to?
It's just another white sheet
My life is only limited
Life is what I must beat

Writer of the night
Some call it obsession 
Writer for my life
It's only possession 
Writer for the fight
Caught between a dream and oblivion 
Writer is my wife
Spirit of the possession 

Maker, taker, inventor 
I am the creator
Shaker, breaker, isolator 
I am the destroyer 
Loner, toner, gonner
I am the deliverer 
Power, hour, sour
I am the devourer 

Sickness only dwells in the mind of the insanity
Evil's only hell in the pockets of your poverty
I am only one or maybe I am more
Could be nobody at all
Or maybe I am four

Tell me, Mr. No One
Is it me or my name?
Show me a proper way
Is it real or a game?

Who's that, that I talk to? 
It's just another blank face
It tears right across my soul
And then drifts out into space

Writer of the night
Some call it obsession 
Writer for my life
It's only possession 
Writer for the fight
Caught between a dream and oblivion 
Writer is my wife
Spirit of the possession

Downer, frowner, clowner 
I am the get arounder
Leader, bleeder, needer
I am the more free'er
Loser, bruiser, boozer
I am the morning snoozer
Higher, flyer, tighter
I am the all-nighter

Writer of the night
Some call it obsession 
Writer for my life
It's only possession 
Writer for the fight
Caught between a dream and oblivion 
Writer is my wife
Spirit of the possession
