Driving along
On a beautiful day
Errands to run
Things to say
Out of the blue
Demons take flight
Crushing my head
With all their might
Pressure builds in my skull
Life becomes dull
Wanting to cry
Knowing the price is too high
Rushing home to bed
Putting ice on my head
Begging sleep to come
So the pain will numb
Life will have to wait
Until the demons abate
