His To Keep

I’m fighting off the demons in my sleep I pray to God my soul is his too keep I really hope it’s not too late for me But I’m starting to think I’m in too deep Uh bourbon sipper Pill popper Fucking up my liver Oh my liver my poor liver But without it I get shivers shivers shivers Withdraws make me feel like I’m slowly dying Withdraws make me wanna die quicker Devil in the red dress hopping around my head like a reindeer prancer Thinking that you straight but you don’t know all the answers Thinking that I’m safe but I don’t know all the answers So excuse my manners Get high till I can’t manage Anymore Demons got a knife in their hands they’re slashers Stabbers She took a knife too my back So I stabbed her I tend to talk to God more than ned Flanders I still have demons in head planning

Fighting off the demons in my sleep I pray to God my soul is his to keep I really hope it’s not to late for me But im really starting to think im in to deep I pray to God my soul is his too keep Bourbon sipper Pill popper Joint roller Fucking up my lungs and liver Oh my liver my poor poor liver But without em I get shiver Shivers shivers Withdraws make me feel like I’m slowly dying Withdraws make me wanna die quicker Here I am Wide open On and off and off and on potions Church bells I’m in hell Raining hail Frozen Wishing wells Killing myself I need to write a will It’s getting hard to stear I’m not in control of myself anymore I’m the worst The badest
I got so many bad habits Searching far and wide for some answers Until then I won’t get no peace In this building the demons look for me Im a fish that’s been caught and being reeled in That’s just the way I’ve been feelin Fightibg off the demons in my sleep I pray to God my soul is his to keep I really I hope it’s not too late for me But lately I’ve started to think I’m in way too deep I pray to God my soul is his to keep Bourbon sipper Joint roller Pill popper Fucking up my liver Oh my liver my poor poor liver But without them I get shivers shivers shivers shiver I really wanna die quicker
