my demon (god help me)

i've been running from something that i could not see

i was running from something that was inside of me

i've been running from something that was hiding

waiting to be free

i've been trying not to lose my grip

trying to keep control

i've been trying to win a battle with my back against the wall

i been trying not to let it slip away

i can't hold it anymore

and my demon he was patient

he just waits till i had nowhere else to turn

and he knew my situation

he was laughing as i burned

and i cried out god help me

i got no one on my side

i'd get down on my knees

if you make it alright

and i cried out god help me

i'm running out of time

i'd fall down on my knees

if you make it alright

i learned to keep my friends at arm's length

and my enemies real tight

and i learned that when the night is cold

the fires still burning bright

and i learned that when it hurt me

was the only time that i could feel alive

so started feeling no pain even when they broke my back

and i headed down that empty road

and never looking back

and i started to draw a single breath before

before i would attack

i saw my demon in the mirror

looking back at me

right there in my eyes

and i couldn't walk away from him

no matter how i tried

and i cried out god help me

i got no one on my side

i'd get down on my knees

if you'd make it alright

so i cried out god help me

i'm running out of time

i'd fall down on my knees

if you'd make it alright

i've been trying not to lose my grip

trying to keep control

i've been trying not to let it slip away

but i can't take it any more

so i cried out god help me

i got no one on my side

i'd get down on my knees

if you'd make it alright

so i cried out god help me

i'm running out of time

i'll fall on my knees

if you'd make it alright

i cried out god help me

i cried out god help me

and i cried out god help me

and i cried out god help me

i got no one on my side

i'm running out of time

i'm running out of time

no one on my side now

god help me

god help me

oh god help me now

and i cried out god help me

god help me now

god help me

i've no one on my side
