Pass the Buck

I gave into myself today I threw my weight around
But it wasnt cause I'm ugly or that I had gained a pound
.
Its the inner demons haunting me I havent seen in years
And now theyre sitting there and taunting me to give in to my fears
.
My worries and anxieties, the things I try and fight
While laying, eyes unblinking, through many sleepless nights
.
I'm hoping that they leave again, just hope they go away
But what if they come back? Or even worse they try and stay?
.
Can I pawn them off on someone, oh please wont you you wish me luck
While I gather up my burdens and head off to pass the buck.
