The Demons In The Circle

I wonder what's been going on with you since our lives got rearranged

And I know you fear and question things but, baby, it's not all that strange

You might grab your crucifix and pray and pray and pray

But we'll all haunt our old addictions by the end of the day

I know I sometimes smoke a lot and drink too much but my spirit's never changed

And everything that's ever happened, good or bad, has brought me to this day

And I know I sometimes stumble along the way

But the fire in my heart has always kept the monsters at bay

We all come back to the places we know

You can't run from your only home

And, for all I've seen, this is the only home I know

I drove up the hill so many times to see the sea that lies beyond the way

And after all these years of living here I've finally come to love the grey

But a feeling of anxiety surrounds me in this place

Because I've got so much left to do before I can rest in this place

So I stare into this ocean's blue; as cold as a goddess' eyes

And I close my eyes and breathe the air knowing that I'll have to bide my time

And know that I'll come back to the place I love someday

When all is said and done and nothing's in my way
