The Devil Inside (feat. McNight)

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 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
