Demons

When I'm falling down
Pick me up and roll a number
I'll come around
For the comfort of my brothers
In the black
Seeking light can lead to blindness
Guide me back
Through the dark and show some kindness

Caught in traps of our design
Sometimes strength means to resign

Tonight let's draw the blinds
There's nothing out there worth our time

We all need to unwind
And drown our demons in cheap wine

If we embrace our our lesser traits without resistance
We can face what fuels our panic and addictions
It's not enough to mask our broken souls in silence
Just speak up, there is no shame in seeking guidance

When you feel your strength is gone
Arm in arm we'll carry on

All the pressure takes its toll
Bearing down like cannonballs
Take your comforts where you may
Lift your chin and face the day
