Demons - Merkules

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They’ve been haunting my dreams and I can’t think straight cause they won’t

stop screaming

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They keep talking to me but I can’t tell 'em shit cause they can’t keep a secret

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They’ve been haunting my dreams and I can’t think straight cause they won’t

stop screaming

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They keep talking to me but I can’t tell 'em shit cause they can’t keep a secret

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

When there’s nothing left

Cause I don’t want to feel shit

Someone must’ve hit a kill switch

They don’t ask about the problems that I deal with

Fuck all of this money, you can have it, I don’t feel rich

I keep having these flashbacks, I hate 'em

They remind me of my problems, I can’t stand to face 'em

I know it’s probably my last chance to change 'em

But even if I do it, my past can’t erase it

They recognize me cause they see me on the Internet

They think I owe 'em something, I can’t deal with all the disrespect

Sick to my stomach, when I feel it I just disconnect

My demons tend to get the best, tell me when I get depressed

I’ve been stabbed in the back with a chainsaw

But who am I to blame y’all?

I’m smokin till the pains gone

You see me smiling on the surface trying to stay strong

Acting like I’m happy starts to feel like it’s my day job

But just as long as there’s a purpose to it all

I’ll keep touring, working hard, writing verses to these songs

Far from perfect, every person has their flaws

And mine is I’m an addict still searching for a cause

I know they judge me for mistakes that I’ve made

Since I’ve gained all this fame shit just ain’t been the same

I came in the game to pave a lane for my name

And it’s painful to say it puts restraints on my brain, but

I know it’s worth it cause I get to tell my story

I’m at a point where the industry can’t ignore me

I never had the mainstream media to endorse me

I did this all by being myself and y’all are corny

So every kid that’s listening to this song

I hope you find a message I’ve written within it all

If no one’s ever there to help pick you up when you fall

I promise you’re not alone, play this shit and just hit the wall, cause

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They’ve been haunting my dreams and I can’t think straight cause they won’t

stop screaming

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They keep talking to me but I can’t tell 'em shit cause they can’t keep a secret

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They’ve been haunting my dreams and I can’t think straight cause they won’t

stop screaming

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They keep talking to me but I can’t tell 'em shit cause they can’t keep a secret

I know you’re listening for something to relate to

I know the feeling like the whole world hates you

I know you wishin' you could finally have a break through

You thought it was a phase so you pretend you’re in a great mood

I know it hurts to see reflections of yourself

Cause the person that you see is not like everybody else

So you try and you try but it never seems to help

So you questioning your worth cause you’re so fed up with the guilt, but

You’re not the only one who’s going through regret

You’re not the only one that no one seems to get

You’re not the only one who’s so close to the edge

And if you slip it’s over for you so you cope with it instead

I can promise you that nobody is perfect

And you overthink the little shit you always so concerned with

So you lock yourself inside every night and close the curtains

And you’re screaming out loud but it’s like no one even heard it

I know problems are piling up right in front of you

So much anxiety inside you, don’t know what to do

Been lied to so much that you don’t think you even want the truth

Fuck it all, you grew to be used to it, it ain’t nothing new

I’ve been there too, just hold tight

A lot of substance abuse and long nights

But next time I see all my demons, it’s on site

Next time I see all my demons, it’s on site, yeah

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They’ve been haunting my dreams and I can’t think straight cause they won’t

stop screaming

I’ve been falling asleep with all of my demons

They keep talking to me but I can’t tell 'em shit cause they can’t keep a secret

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

What the fuck am I to do?

When there’s nothing left
