My New Chord

One step forward, three steps back
I can’t bear to take another
Demons come and form a pack
Grab my hand, and call me brother
I won’t run from this nightmare
I won’t let myself be scared

My new chord is all I have
As I dive further toward the bottom
Trying so hard not to laugh
Did my trick so now I got ‘em
I won’t run from responsibility
Just cuz I’m so free

Days drag on until they’re done
Hours blur into each other
Just one look and then I’m gone
I can’t bear to take another
