Where Demons Fear to Tread

(Joshua Lyons)

It's a song about losing someone you love to addiction and feeling powerless to help them

Verse 1
I fell for an angel
But I didn't have a prayer
To free her from demons
I had not known were there
Followed from a distance
They took her as I slept
Woke to unfamiliar eyes
That when I recognized as I wept

Chorus
All the memories we made
They fade
Quandaries created can't evade
They just spread
All the words you ever wrote or said
Found their way into my head
And left me low
Where demons fear to tread

Verse 2
Her demons left me hopeless
On a trail of a broken hearts
They left hers by her smile
Where her withered soul departs
Then locked her in her bedroom
With a past that can't set her free
Naked face without makeup
Still caked in misery 
That longs for company 
Wants all that it can take
Cries rivers, then oceans
Then complains of tears
In the lake

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3
Another fallen angel
She didn't have a prayer
I searched for her all Summer
Found her, but she wasn't there
She's living in a haze
Stays drunk all day and night
Says I'm not the savior who will save her and show her the light 
I lift her veil of darkness, it's not like she read
No Heaven awaits her, except in her head

Repeat Chorus

One Girl Army

By Clairine T.

Having to hide your true self because other people, who you thought had your trust, won't like it is something a lot of us have gone through. I wrote this song to bring a little optimism to the situation by describing the journey of a girl that used to be afraid of being judged for who she is and what she does into becoming an independent, confident individual with much needed self-love that's been missing all those years she hid herself.
