Demons of Darkness

She stood on the bridge In silence and fear 
For the demons of darkness Had driven her here 
They cut her heart  
Right out of her chest 
Making her believe 
That the demons knew best 
They were always there 
Sometimes just out of sight 
Waiting in the background 
 Till the time was right 
These demons were destructive 
Knocking down the life she knew 
Hating everything about her She hated herself too 
These demons can't be seen
 But they're far from fairy tales 
They live inside your mind 
Their evilness prevails
 So on the bridge she stood
 About to end the fight
 Then she stopped and thought I'll fight them one more night
