when the demons come calling
the pain will ensue
the fighting, the breaking
the pulling in two
the echoing reverbs
the sounds of the lost
the ones who have spoken
relaying their cost
unable to fight it
unable to care
the losing of battles
and going nowhere
a fight to the death
from the inside to out
inviting in shadows
pursuing the doubt
ending in nothing
hopeless and black
when the demons come calling
there's no going back
