Shadows

Demons lurking in the shadows wait for me to slip up
And they come around with vices when I'm down on my luck
Think they pulled me out the deep when I'm down in a rut
But when I wake up from the trance It's like I'm already stuck

And it didn't have to be like this
I'm trying to be better but I can't resist
Feeling like I'm on my own
Going crazy while I'm stuck at home

I've had too many drinks, I think it's time for bed
But the demon on my shoulder's just another threat
Now I'm thinking about some shit, I made up in my head
It's got me calling up my dealer for a hit instead

But it didn't have to be like this
I'm trying to be better but I can't resist
Feeling like I'm on my own
Going crazy while I'm stuck at home

Ooooh, the demons are haunting me, and they're hiding in the shadows, I'm not ready for this battle, shit
Ooooh, my vices are in too deep, man I hate being an adult, all these problems that I grapple, with

They always pat me on the back for the littlest wins
I just grit my teeth, responding with the littlest grin
Because I know this won't be the last time I'm committing these sins
Now I'm counting down the minutes until the daze begins

And it didn't have to be like this
I'm trying to be better but I can't resist
Feeling like I'm on my own
Going crazy while I'm stuck at home

Live my life like it's a movie, now I wait for the twist
Where I finally catch a break, and figure out all my shit
Every time that I get sober, I start making a list
Of all the people that I wronged and the chances I missed

But it didn't have to be like this
I'm trying to be better but I can't resist
Feeling like I'm on my own
Going crazy while I'm stuck at home

Oh, the demons are haunting me, and they're hiding in the shadows, I'm not ready for this battle, shit
Oh, my vices are in too deep, man I hate being an adult, all these problems that I grapple, with

And it didn't have to be like this
I'm trying to be better but I can't resist
Feeling like I'm on my own
Going crazy while I'm stuck at home
I said it didn't have to be like this
I'm trying to be better but I can't resist
Feeling like I'm on my own
Going crazy while I'm stuck at home

Oh, the demons are haunting me, and they're hiding in the shadows, I'm not ready for this battle, shit
Oh, my vices are in too deep, man I hate being an adult, all these problems that I grapple, with
