Fear Can't Hurt the Soul
The dreaded sound of the alarm
Rings, on and on
Fighting the demon inside,
Drowning the angel buried beneath
rising up for another day
just to wish it would all go away
praying the cloud will disappear
and allow the sky to become clear
war between happy and sad
only fueling the demon
and letting it get mad.
Day after day
taking all your strength
to put down the blade.
Before ending it all,
you remember, and fall
fear can't hurt the soul
pushing through and being strong
not allowing the pain to overtake
the life you tried to make
seeking help when it is needed
is not weak at all
silencing the demon inside
bringing the angel to the light
fear can't hurt the soul
