Struggle and Lies

I struggle with control

of my hope against fears

And turn to the story

I tell to my ears

 

A whisper of warmth

From my heart to my mind

Can craft all the dreams

I need to unwind

 

I fill up my soul

With hugs I invent

Because pleasure feels good

Even when it's pretend

 

If the going gets rough

I summon my ghost

And offer my love

When I need it the most

 

I struggle and cry

In my dark of my soul

But I make my own light

To climb from my hole

 

I struggle and cry

And I tell myself lies
