Demons I Fight

I walked away
At that time I couldn't say
But I knew that I couldn't stay
I couldn't talk
Hell, I couldn't pray
I really wanted to believe
That it was okay
But there's only so much that you can deny
And though I was in dismay
Troubled by things
That refused to come to the light
No they preferred to stay away
They've no conception of fight
Only controlled by fright
But I fight and never play
Smashing through traffic
Like I'm speeding on the freeway
Of life and I was right
In a way
To walk under the lights
That flickers like children bickering
Hear the hickory whispering
Give us another day
Because we're trees
Whose nature it is to sway
