lyrics

Verse1

all this time I thought that
could make better choices
that I was in complete
control with my responses
thinking that I needed
the right situation
how did others expect
me to function all day

pre chorus
in this situation

Chorus
oh now I am breaking it all down
there is a demon inside of me

Verse 2
devil made me do it
not an accurate saying
the real devil is me
because I give the power
a constant feeding of
my flesh fattening it up
starving my soul to death
i’m trapped in self infliction

pre chorus
I am a slave

Chorus
oh now I am breaking it all down
there is a demon inside of me

Bridge
I am in slavery
to this heavy beast
I was warned as a young one
it would come to this
I created this in me
I need it burned away

Verse 3
The God of all creation
I am crying out to you
please help me in all my
DESPERATION
the lack of control is
nauseating me
please please do something with
me and make me one

pre chorus
AGAIN

Chorus
oh now I am breaking it all down
there is a demon inside of me
