Where Do All the Demons Dwell?

by ·

4/9/2024
Here’s to ashes in your eyes
Here’s to all your little lies
Here’s to knowing not what’s true
Here’s to needing less of you

Here’s to whimsical parades
Here’s to donning happy charades
Here’s to knowing where I stand
Here’s to loving who I am

Here’s to ripped and blood-stained pants
Here’s to dancing a fearless dance
Here’s to giving but never taking
Here’s to mixing but never baking

Here’s to people young and old
Here’s to nudity in the cold
Here’s to poetry and to life!
Here’s to the edge of a sharpened knife

Here’s to mysteries—one and all
Here’s to all things—big and small
Here’s to dander in the air
Here’s to being anywhere

Here’s to soda with lots of ice
Here’s to trying to be nice
Here’s to cozy kitten cuddles
Here’s to splashing in the puddles

Here’s to happiness and joy
Here’s to a Christmas morning toy
Here’s to a feeling I know all too well
Here’s where all the demons dwell
