Dancing with demons

I got shadows that linger, they’re heavy and real,

I’ve been carrying burdens I never could feel.

Tried to run, tried to hide, but they’re part of me now,

They’re the voice in my head, they’re the crease in my brow.

So I’m dancing with demons, they won’t let me be,

They’re haunting my dreams, but they’re setting me free.

I don’t love ‘em, don’t hate ‘em, but here’s what I know—

I’m learning to live with the dark that they show.

They know all my secrets, the ones I don’t tell,

They’re the wounds that remind me I’ve been through hell.

I’m scarred but still standing, with bruises I’ve earned,

The flames of my past are the lessons I’ve learned.

Yeah, I’m dancing with demons, they’re pulling me close,

And under the surface, I’ve come to know—

The pain and the fire, they’ve molded me strong,

I’m finding my voice in the depths of their song.

I can’t let ‘em go, they’re stitched to my bones,

They’ve hurt me, they’ve healed me, they’ve made me alone.

But I’ll walk with ‘em now, I’ve got nothin’ to lose,

Together we march with these scarred-up shoes.

Yeah, I’m dancing with demons, they whisper and scream,

They’re breaking me down, but they’re fueling my dream.

I don’t love ‘em, don’t hate ‘em, but here’s what I know—

We’re learning to live in the shadows we throw.

So I’ll hold out my hand, and I’ll give them a spin,

They’re here for the ride through thick and thin.

These demons I carry, they’re part of the plan,

And we’re getting along, best that we can.
