Crypt - Why Can't I? lyrics

One less broken man that you have to save
The hole in my soul
It gets bigger by the day
I try to refrain from going back to my ways
I'm addicted to the pain
I just can't stay away

Every time I get up, I end up on the ground
No matter how high that I climb, I fall down
I dust myself off and I do it again
For a cycle that I know
Will never have an end
Every time I do well, I just wait for the bad
'Cause it follows me around like
The scars on my back
I cannot escape all the sins from my past
So I'll sit here and dwell in the fiery path

I'm just one less broken man
That you have to save the hole in my soul
It gets bigger by the day
I try to refrain from going back to my ways
I'm addicted to the pain
I just can't stay away

Why can't I fight?
These demons got a hold on me
Why can't I see?
I'm blind to all the things
I don't need to be
Why can't I hold onto anything
I don't wanna lose? Why can't I fight?

Why can't I fight all these
Urges just to hurt myself?
Betterin' my life just gets me overwhelmed
Why should I try to climb
When a fall from Heaven
Hurts a lot worse than a fall from Hell?
It seems I've climbed every mountain peak
But every time at the top I reach
Another base of another mountain
Another height of eternity
I've been to Hell and back so many times
I'm startin' to get used to all
The heat that's in the air
Everybody knows my name and I
Know all the names
Of all the demons that are living there
They relate to the pain that I felt
And when it seems like there's nobody else
I can count on their presence
'cause they never left
They're just waiting for me in my Hell
I know I'm just

I'm just one less broken man
That you have to save the hole in my soul
It gets bigger by the day
I try to refrain from going back to my ways
I'm addicted to the pain
I just can't stay away

Why can't I fight?
These demons got a hold on me
Why can't I see?
I'm blind to all the things
I don't need to be
Why can't I hold onto anything
I don't wanna lose? Why can't I fight?

Why can't I fight? Why can't I see?
Why am I blind? Why can't I leave?
Lord tell me

Why can't I fight?
These demons got a hold on me
Why can't I see?
I'm blind to all the things
I don't need to be
Why can't I hold onto anything
I don't wanna lose? Why can't I fight?

Why can't I, why can't I
Why can't I fight?
