Don't play pretend as if you were a friend

Cause the fact of the matter is I ain't no victim except to myself

Metaphorically linking the speaker's shadow and demons to their inner struggles.
I host a legion deep inside of me

Some were passed down to me others I created myself
Recognizing a mix of inherited and self-created internal challenges.

Live in the moment
