There are demons dancing behind your eyes

Making you feel life deprived

You try to hold on for dear life

Don’t worry soon you won’t be able to remember the ride  

You numb yourself to sleep

Knowing its the only way

Anxiety, fear, and depression waiting for your wake

You rise and quickly numb the pain hoping your problems will go away

You go and visit the man, you quickly put the money in his hand

He grins and hands you the solution, a plan 

Only temporarily will is satisfy those screaming demons deep inside 

Don’t you worry

Don’t you weep

You will be back within a week
