I scoop you up, I hold you tight
Tell you everything's alright
It's what I say to myself as I try to sleep
But it's a promise I don't believe I can keep
For the day was long, but the nights were longer
Because when the sun cannot shine I must learn to be stronger
Because keeping demons at bay is not an easy fight
I can feel their screams and claws scratching deep, flames burning a passionate light
Watching hours tick away as the war gains passion
There's no way out, no thoughts I could fashion
So here I lie, and here I cry
For the battle inside me leaves no escape but to die
But then the sun comes up; a ray of hues
Sun beams fill my sight, tonight I did not lose
Because the light wins the day
Or so, that's what my fairytales say
Because, even the knight in shining armour, their rust begin a decay
But today's a new fight, perhaps another battle that I can win
And with a last breath, the start of the day ends this phrase
La fin
