The Demons That Held Me

When the world turned away, left me In the cold, in the silence, their grip Took hold, no hands to guide, no voices to hear, but The shadows whispered"We are near" They wrapped around me, a bittersweet embrace Filling the void, the empty space In the darkest nights, they became my friend A twisted solace that wouldn't end The demons that held me when no one else would Their cruel embrace, misunderstood, they fed my fears They stoked my pain yet kept me standing through the rain The demons that held me, they knew my name, but their love Was a fire, a consuming flame They whispered truths no one else could see, the cracks in my Soul, the scars on me They lifted me up, only to pull me down, in their grasp, I'd Laugh, then drown Their lullabies of chaos sang me to sleep, a restless solace, Dark and deep Though they tore at my heart, I couldn't let go, they were The only comfort I'd ever know The demons that held me when no one else would Their cruel embrace, misunderstood, they fed my fears They stoked my pain yet kept me standing through the rain The demons that held me, they knew my name, but their love Was a fire, a consuming flame They whispered truths no one else could see, the cracks in my Souls, the scars on me They fed my fears; they stoked my pain Yet kept me standing through the rain But now I rise, their grip undone, the battle fought The war is won a consuming flame The demons may linger, but they won't stay The demons that held me when no one else would Their cruel embrace, misunderstood They fed my fears; they stoked my pain yet kept me standing Through the rain But now I rise, their grip undone, the battle fought, the war is won The demons that held me, they fade to gray, a shadowed past That won't stay Through their darkness, I've learned to see, the light inside That's setting me free I'll leave their shadows, I'll break their hold No longer bound by the lies they've sold The demons may linger, but they won't stay I've found my strength; I'll find my way Ahh! I'll find my way! Ooh! But now I rise, their grip undone, the battle fought The war is won, the demons that held me, they fade to gray A shadowed past that won't stay Through their darkness, I've learned to see, the light inside That's setting me free Set me free.
