I k** the lights, but the lies are sleepless
Night heaves with the bleakest secrets
A shadow waits in the black
And I awake with a devil on my back
I'm contesting my reckless weakness
Desperately wrestling restless demons
But all the odds are stacked
Guess I'm no match for the devil on my back
And I plead for my peace, like a dead man walking
And I plead for my peace and I can't stand more of this
But still I pretend I can mend this
And ascend this hopelessness, then end this
But then the whip gets cracked
I get knocked flat by the devil...
And I look into the eyes of the love of my life
And swear blind that the darkest times are behind
But it's another f**ing lie just to cover my tracks
Another part of her dies, for the devil on my back
And I plead for my peace like a dead man walking
I plead for my peace 'cause I can't stand more of this
So I regress to the cesspit, friendless
Too breathless to defend, I descend to the depths
Of the mess I've ama**ed
I get no rest from the devil on my back
And I plead for my peace like a dead man walking
I plead for my peace and I can't stand more of this
I plead for my peace as the darkness taunts me
And I plead for my peace from a past that haunts me
