Demons and Storms

Well I should have known this day would come 

The sun can't shine every day in a row

Those clouds will turn gray soon enough 

Wrapped in silence you'll come and you'll go

I don't know why you choose to take this path

Every year you refuse to change course

And the story is always the same outcome

But you'll forge on for better or for worse

I can't go down that road again

I can't fight your demons anymore 

I'm not afraid of the storm that'll ensue

Or of breaking the silence when I close that door

I don't know what the future will hold 

But it's time to let go of today 

You know I can't stay locked up in that room 

With the broken pieces of what I'm trying to say

I can't go down that road again

I can't fight your demons anymore 

I'm not afraid of the storm that'll ensue

Or of breaking the silence when I close that door

I'm not afraid of finding a new road to follow

With or without you, for richer or poorer

But I can't fight your demons anymore

No I can't go down that road anymore
