Demons

When you try to fight the urge
But you have no strength
When it wears you down
And causes you to think

When the wounds are deep
And the gash starts to bleed
And it’s gonna leave a scar
But that’s what you need

When the boat is sinking
And there aren't enough vests
Do you save yourself
Or try to save the rest

When you try to fight the demons
But you have no cape
Or super hero powers
To get out of this scrape

When you want to give in
Cause it’s the easy thing to do
People always wantin more
Than there is to give of you

When you have a lot of doubts
And you can’t think straight
Mind like a labyrinth
Or one big haze

Then look to the heavens
And say a little prayer
Look for the answers
You will find them there
