When all things turn barren
And the lost seem right
When there are no more warren
And we seek individual flight
We wander aimlessly
While guilt withers the mind
Still, we must remain faithfully
Leave none behind
Demons rage within this heart
And oftentimes they’ll win
They are an indivisible part
They are of our kind, they are of our kin
Oftentimes they will show
What I would rather forget
But it’s in the struggle where I grow
And they haven’t seen the best of me yet
Wounded I still stand on both my feet
I will not hesitate nor fail
The light in my eyes and the darkness of the demons meet
And rest assured, the light will prevail
Scarred, but not scared
The outcome yet unknown
I am and will be prepared
In this battle of my own
Sometimes I do lose hope
Sometimes I do get hurt
But there are many on this globe
And none of us live life unhurt
Yesterday is in the rearview mirror
All that’s there is today
Life can be a lot clearer
If you go your own way
If there is meaning
If there is cause
I’ll find it before leaving
These lifelong constricting bonds
