I know it’s daunting
And the road seems long
But this demon you’re facing,
It’s not just you that it’s haunting.
It’s not just you that it’s chasing.

I know you’re strong
But my belief in strength is fading.


Is it enough
To want to try?
To tell me you didn’t mean
to break my heart
Console me just enough
To keep me from crying?
(Thanks for trying)

But then turn to distract
From the reality of your loveless acts?
Meanwhile...
I can act tough
Until I crack
(Not tough enough)
And the demon of yours
that I’ve absorbed
comes pouring out
In full force.

I would lift you
If I could
And carry you far away from this world.
