The Valley

Why am I still fighting 

this war I thought I'd won long ago?

Why am I still crying

these old tears? 

You'd think they'd have dried up by now

And why do I keep drinking?

I thought I'd be sober by now

But these demons, they come in the evening

whispering questions

I don't know, I don't know

Why am I running - away

from where I'm running from?

These walls are growing higher now

I'm afraid this valley

is one way - down

And why do I keep sinking?

I thought I could beat this by now

But these demons, they come in the evening

whispering questions

I don't know, I don't know

But I

I keep trying

Climbing, and grasping at air

Till the sound of my fumbling footsteps

drowns out the questions

I don't hear, I don't hear
