Into The Blue

Protect Me From My Demons

Protect Me From My Demons

It doesn't happen so often

That I wake in the middle of the night

With a smile on my face

And happy tears in my eyes

It doesn't happen so often

That I look into the mirror

And I smile a grander smile

That I have in the past five years

It's all because of you

You've taken away my demise

You've taken away the wish to hurt

And in your eyes, are words of the wise

You tell me the pain will soon fade away

And who knew you could've been right?

You've taken away the refusal of thought

The ones that the tears were brought

The way of thinking that caused so much pain

I now writhe in happiness

I dropped every fear I've thought in vain

I used to be scared

To remember that night

But now, I know,

He's gone

And I'm not under his knife

You're here for my comfort

You're here to keep me safe

So what was I so afraid of?

You don't want to hurt me

You're my happy place

But what happens when I dream

And that dream turns to fear

When that fear creates a new nightmare

Where will you be?

Will you be laying next to me?
