lyrics

You're sometimes visited by the demons
You couldn't entirely defeat
The remnants of the battle you swear you won
Still make it harder to fall asleep
You're moving forward, but there are still times
Your old fears leave you paralyzed
But even when you'd rather evaporate
Then look any of them in the eyes

Chorus:
Don't go back to stooping at everyone's feet
Your diffidence written in your "um"s and apologies
Fear comes creeping back, it will never dir
Just breathe in, breathe out, and keep your head held high

There are rules that you made up from worries
That a part of you is still trying to abide
There are places in your mind you go to nurse your wounds
Oh, you've got places to hide
And yes, you grew stronger, and you built armor
And learned to let go during your retreat
But the things you want to leave behind aren't yet dead
And they'll only grow if they're buried

Repeat Chorus

The boogeyman still won't leave you alone
And the harsh light chills you to the bone
And there are moments that you shudder to recall
But you're moving towards okay, even at a crawl

Repeat Chrous
