Phix - DEVIL lyrics

I had nightmares that repeated where
I had to shake myself awake
How can I beat all this depression
That I'm left to face?
When I wake up I can feel
Him standing by my side
Whispered in my ear "you know that
You're not leaving here alive"

Don't know how much I can take
If I take one more then I gotta go
But my demons keep me awake
No matter how hard I try they won't let me go

Sometimes I put shit in my system
That I ain't supposed to have
Ain't take the whole thing but damn
Sure it was close to half
I tried it once before but that
Time I ain't close the gap
But, I talked to God and thought
I was gone so how close was that?
Since I got on I got friends
That ain't even hollered since
I laid in bed with a pistol
Ready to call it quit's
I'm locked and loaded
I lock the door and I'm not gon' miss
Being this lonely'll hit you up
Like a wall of bricks
That shit aside I want these
Feelings fucking outta me
And all I want was a hug
From someone who's proud of me
This the type of shit my friends
Don't wanna be bothered with
So the next time I have problems
Who could I call 'em with?

Don't know how much I can take
If I take one more then I gotta go
But my demons keep me awake
No matter how hard I try they won't let me go

I had nightmares that repeated where
I had to shake myself awake
How can I beat all this depression
That I'm left to face?
When I wake up I can feel
Him standing by my side
Whispered in my ear "you know that
You're not leaving here alive"

The devil tried to keep me close and
Never let me out his sight
I tried escaping that motherfucker
My entire life i tried to shake him off but
He's always a step ahead
He's the shadow in my dream
The voice inside my head
I feel him right over my shoulder
While I write this out
If he gon' try me he best pray
To God he wipe me out
And no one's home so I'm the
One who's gotta fight this out
And we all know who's gonna win
So what you crying 'bout?

Don't know how much I can take
If I take one more then I gotta go
But my demons keep me awake
No matter how hard I try they won't let me go

But my demons keep me awake
No matter how hard I try they won't let me go
