Demons Run

Her eyes tell a story but nobody hears 
So she just lives it all behind her anguished tears 
She just can’t seem to fight off all of this pain 
Of those demons that are still picking her brain 
The life she’s been living, well nobody sees 
And it’s gone beyond sickness, it’s now a disease 
No one wants to be bothered, it’s just not their place 
So they just walk away and never look at her face  
She only wants freedom, but it seems nobody cares 
So she sits all alone in the corner and just stares 
She’s looking for hope, help or just a friend 
But those that she knows just can’t comprehend 
She’s now in a ward in some shady place somewhere 
But nobody visits her, it’s like nobody cares 
Her mind is far from better, but it’s closer to death 
Which seems a blessing to her as she breaths her last breathe 
Soon she’s forgotten by those who shunned her in life 
They’re into who’s dating whom and who what’s his names wife
