Haha, yeah, yo
I been here for years leavin' scuffs on the walls
With a monkey on my back always busting my balls
And sometimes I drink 'til I can’t function at all
And go from sprinting to a sluggish winded run to a crawl
Watch the devil waterboard me with a 40 of rum
Foot planted on my chest like Captain Morgan, I’m drunk
And a drunk man's words are a sober mans thoughts
I just tossed an empty bottle with an overhand lob
Watch it mimic my reality and shatter to oblivion
I drink until I'm stupid just to pander to the simians
It's in my DNA down to the patterns of my fingerprints
And dates back to giving blankets out to Indians
So, blackin' out could be a giant bloody mess
Like holdin' back a zombie tryin to bite a chunk of flesh
Except you're fightin' with your friend up in a violent punching fest
Where you can catch a glimpse of evil when his eyes when nothing left
When the lights fade to black and I’m ready to die
You can stare into my empty and malevolent eyes
Put your hand on my shoulder but I’ve left for the night
Knock knock, who’s there? It’s the Devil inside
When the lights fade to black and I’m ready to die
You can stare into my empty and malevolent eyes
Put your hand on my shoulder but I’ve left for the night
Knock knock, who’s there? It’s the Devil inside
If no-one takes your keys away you're D.O.A. for real
You'll meet your maker screamin' Jesus take the wheel
'Cause the devil wants to leave you in a heap of mangled steel
Where the jaws of life retrieve you just to be a maggots meal
This ain't a joke I've had it happen to a friend or two
When bad decisions add up fast and that's the end of you
One took a corner quick and rolled into a ditch
The other dove off of a bridge and imploded all his ribs
We pour out liquor for the fallen as a tribute
But this is quite the opposite of solving any issues
Instead we end up bitter as we wallow when we miss you
And add on to our problems with a bottle and continue
It's so ironic, what a sick poetic justice
In vicious circle spinnin' like a misdirected compass
Some will push a needle into skin, inject a substance
While others tend drink until their intellect is stunted
When the lights fade to black and I’m ready to die
You can stare into my empty and malevolent eyes
Put your hand on my shoulder but I’ve left for the night
Knock knock, who’s there? It’s the Devil inside
When the lights fade to black and I’m ready to die
You can stare into my empty and malevolent eyes
Put your hand on my shoulder but I’ve left for the night
Knock knock, who’s there? It’s the Devil inside
So inebriated, I can barely write a track
Drown another problem in another pint of jack
Predisposed to raisin hell, there ain't no fightin' that
I was born to bite the bullet 'til the bullet bite me back
Sick despite the fact I was a vaccinated a child
Because I drank a fifth of Jack and then I ran a naked mile
Woke up in a bathroom on the laminated tile
Spillin' bitter laughter from a liquor saturated smile
Bleeding fire water, whiskey marinated bile
In my pickled liver, liquid dinner aftertaste is vile
Tequila on the mind, imaginations wild
Throw me on the incapacitated pile
Liberate my demons and I greet 'em with a frown
'Til I'm sleepin in the street but think I'm dreamin' on a cloud
A litre of the crown's all I need and I can drown
In a liquid lullaby to sweep my feet up off the ground, like
When the lights fade to black and I’m ready to die
You can stare into my empty and malevolent eyes
Put your hand on my shoulder but I’ve left for the night
Knock knock, who’s there? It’s the Devil inside
