(Verse 1)
The evil is real, the evil got me down bad.
I can not believe I ended up like my dad.
Watching him thinking the drink is all I had.
Starting at a young age, just like any other fad.
Waking up and hating to look in the mirror.
Seeing my eyes look back at me, now that’s a fear.
Can’t make eye contact with myself, all I see is beer.
Making a fist, wishing I could knock myself out, clear!
(Pre chorus)
I need to fight, I need to win.
I’m sending my prayers, sending all to him.
(Chorus)
Dear god, why do I have these demons in my closet.
They hurt so bad, feels like a mosh pit.
The drink has got me down, I need to quit.
I’m losing my life and family, and I hate to admit.
This drug is real, and I don’t want it to last.
I need you more than ever and I need you fast.
I give it up to you, I need your power blast.
So I can live with my family, not let the time pass.
(Verse 2)
I’ve done more wrong than right, they won’t understand.
From the fighting, yelling, to punching the wall with my hand.
Shaking all the time wanting that drink, calling myself a man.
I’m a failure, a lost cost, one who is damned.
I try to be good, I try to provide for my kin.
But the evil keeps finding a way inside my skin.
Thinking this is the end, that’s the life I live.
Can’t leave this place, they need me, this can’t be the end.
(Bridge)
Lord if you hear me, I need your heal.
Lord if you hear me, please make me feel.
(Chorus)
Dear god, why do I have these demons in my closet.
They hurt so bad, feels like a mosh pit.
The drink has got me down, I need to quit.
I’m losing my life and family, and I hate to admit.
This drug is real, and I don’t want it to last.
I need you more than ever and I need you fast.
I give it up to you, I need your power blast.
So I can live with my family, not let the time pass.
(Ending verse)
I hate myself, day after day and that is a fact.
This place would be better off with a better dad.
I can’t stand how I treat them, or how I act.
The bad thoughts hit me hard, like a home run bat.
I’m ruined, I’m dead, sorry for all bad times.
I love you family, I’m going to press rewind.
Sorry for being a lost cause, sorry for being blind.
I’m seeking help, all I ask for is you please be stand behind.
(Per chorus)
Sorry for the tears, not enough laughs.
When I come back, I hope you all will be glad.
(Chorus)
Dear god, why do I have these demons in my closet.
They hurt so bad, feels like a mosh pit.
The drink has got me down, I need to quit.
I’m losing my life and family, and I hate to admit.
This drug is real, and I don’t want it to last.
I need you more than ever and I need you fast.
I give it up to you, I need your power blast.
So I can live with my family, not let the time pass.
