Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' lots about my life and
How quick I'd wash it down the drain
Past tense, the future, nothing matters now
I act on my own and I'm to blame
[Verse 2]
Living's a wicked dream where things turn out all wrong
We're all so weak no matter how strong, yeah
[Verse 3]
I tried runnin' away from me, convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, demons, they follow me
I quit runnin' away from me, convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
[Verse 4]
I don't like that you're callin' me a liar
I don't like that you found out I'm a snake
Been sneakin' around for far too long now
I don't like how fast my intentions fade
[Verse 5]
Karma has beat me down, the worst is yet to come
Many mistakes and still I'm so young, yeah
[Verse 6]
I tried runnin' away from me, convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, demons, they follow me
I quit runnin' away from me, convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
[Verse 7]
I can't count how many times
Awakened in fear nightly (Palms sweating)
Dreams of promises I've made
To no one but myself have beenĀ (Crushed daily)
[Verse 8]
Don't lend me your hand, I can't trust myself
So how can you trust me?
[Verse 9]
We've all made selfish bad decisions
We've all tried dishin' out the blame
Convinced ourselves of our own actions
My problem is I'll never change
[Verse 10]
Been dealt some good cards that I'll fold before it's time
Can't promise you that it's my last time, yeah
[Verse 11]
I tried runnin' away from me, convince me that I've grown, but I can't
Change so unnaturally, demons, they follow me
I quit runnin' away from me, convinced that I have grown, but found out
All my reasons for insanity, all a part of me
[Verse 12]
Friends won't help you now, hope lost, gone too far
Oh, oh
Friends won't help you now, hope lost, gone too far
Oh, oh
[Verse 13]
I'm scarred, yeah, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah, yeah, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
[Verse 14]
I'm scarred, yeah, yeah
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
I'm scarred, yeah, yeah, oh
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
[Verse 15]
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
Demons, they follow me, cause my insanity
