I went looking for my devils
digging deep with worn-out shovels
until at last they broke and splintered in my hands
I had thought they were out yonder
until at last I thought to ponder
maybe it’s that I’ve been looking in far-off lands
Then upon me came a whisper
so damn soft I thought I’d missed her
oh so sweet, she gently pointed where to go
then the tears began to fall
into my soul and through it all
the only place that I’d neglected was my home
So I took that fearful journey
going in where all was burning
to the core that I’d kept hidden from all sight
when I got there, there was nothing
but a sick pathetic huffing
and I saw my devils trembling in the night
Yea, it lasted but a second
as they screamed and sorely beckoned
knowing well their next breath was to be their last
how I wasted all those years
chasing hopes entombed in fears
but Love has come and now my devils have all passed…
