Tick-tock, I’m ready for bed,
Up all night from working late again.
Clock’s glowing red, can’t clear my head,
Thoughts replay like ghosts instead.
Counting sheep — 1, 2, 3 —
Nope, it ain’t happening for me.
Then that voice creeps in again,
“Yo bro, did you see that girl at the gas station?”
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m trying to fight, trying to stay clean,
But temptation hits harder in dreams.
My soul’s at war, my heart’s on fire,
Caught between peace and my desire.
⸻
[Chorus]
Lord, help me now, I’m losing control,
These dirty thoughts are haunting my soul.
This thing in my head keeps playing games,
Dragging me down with guilt and shame.
Ahhh, leave me alone, you trickster, no—
You’re feeding the fire I’m trying to slow.
But I won’t break, I’ll rise instead,
Lord, cast out this trickster in my head.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Sweat on my skin, covers feel tight,
Wrestling demons through the night.
Every prayer feels like static noise,
I’m trying to silence that wicked voice.
“Just give in,” it whispers slow,
But I ain’t built to sink that low.
I turn to God, fall to my knees,
“Lord, take this off of me, please.”
⸻
[Bridge]
I’m tired of this midnight show,
My halo cracked, my faith won’t glow.
But grace still finds me through the pain,
Washing me clean in the pouring rain.
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Lord, help me now, I’m losing control,
These dirty thoughts are haunting my soul.
This thing in my head keeps playing games,
Dragging me down with guilt and shame.
Ahhh, leave me alone, you trickster, no—
You’re feeding the fire I’m trying to slow.
But I hear Your voice, it cuts through the noise,
Telling me I still got a choice.
Every time I fall, You lift me instead,
Lord, cast out this trickster in my head.
⸻
[Outro]
Tick-tock, eyes heavy at last,
Dark fades slow, the storm’s gone past.
The voice goes quiet, peace creeps in,
Lord, I know You’ll help me win.
Ahhh, no more tricks tonight…
Just me and You till morning light.
