The Demon You Know

I gotta make a change
There's too many things goin' wrong
I'm getting tired of the routine
It's always the same old song
I'm not getting much sleep
Having trouble paying my bills
There's only one thing
That I really need but they say it kills

You try to run, try to hide
It doesn't matter where you go
It's all around, it's inside
The demon you know
Give it up, don't fight the feeling
Come along, I know you want some more
Well you might just win the battle
But I'm always gonna win the war

I think it might be what I'm drinking
But maybe just a little too much
It hasn't been even twenty-four hours
And I need my crutch
I can't stop the pacing
Sweat pours offmy sleeve
My heart is racin'
And I can't breathe

You try to run, try to hide
It doesn't matter where you go
It's all around, it's inside
The demon you know
Give it up, don't fight the feeling
Come along, I know you want some more
Well you might just win the battle
But I'm always gonna win the war

And you better believe it's a war
And a tough one to win
But if you really want it
Maybe with some help
You can beat this, yes, you can

I think I got this beat now
I'm all done the purge
But there'll be no time for celebration
I'm really gonna have to fight the urge
And resist the temptation

You try to run, try to hide
It doesn't matter where you go
It's all around, it's inside
The demon you know
Give it up, don't fight the feeling
Come along, I know you want some more
Well you might just win the battle
But I'm always gonna win the war
