Sometimes I forget I’m not alone in this fight
And those voices can still tell wrong from right.
I cry myself to sleep when I remember how far
I could run without stones tearing my shoes apart.
But it’s midnight and everyone’s sound asleep.
I guess those demons are mine to keep
And wrangle by suiting their every need.
If I do, my safety’s not guaranteed.
But I look through the window.
I push away greed.
