There are demons in my head
There are demons in my soul.
They fill my mind with blocks of lead,
My heart they can control.

These demons bring me endless fear,
Endless guilt and pain.
They hide from me like cowards.
They cover me like rain.

They drain the energy from me.
And keep me from my life.
I cannot ever look forward,
Only backward at past strife.

The fear they stir makes me feel weak,
Feel helpless and unsafe.
I want to fight against them
And once again be brave.

But when I try to fight them,
They hide themselves again.
How can you fight an enemy
That does not want to be seen?

I must destroy these demons,
That, at least, I see.
Some how I must find the way
To once again be free.
