I Walk Through the Valley

It seems like every step I take
Is a step away from you
And it's true
I chase after the things that only seem to break me
Ignoring the One who created me
Because I lost faith that He could save me
Not because He's powerless or heartless
But because I'm stubborn
And I much prefer the burn of the world
Instead of the love of the Lord
And even though I'm dying
I pretend that I'm living
I drink
I smoke
I party
I joke
Anything to keep the demons at bay
Yet I walk in the darkness
Forgetting that this is they love to play
