Stoney - Devil on My Back lyrics

I k** the lights, but the lies are sleepless Night heaves with the bleakest secrets A shadow waits in the black And I awake with a devil on my back I'm contesting my reckless weakness Desperately wrestling restless demons But all the odds are stacked Guess I'm no match for the devil on my back And I plead for my peace, like a dead man walking And I plead for my peace and I can't stand more of this But still I pretend I can mend this And ascend this hopelessness, then end this But then the whip gets cracked I get knocked flat by the devil... And I look into the eyes of the love of my life And swear blind that the darkest times are behind But it's another f**ing lie just to cover my tracks Another part of her dies, for the devil on my back And I plead for my peace like a dead man walking I plead for my peace 'cause I can't stand more of this So I regress to the cesspit, friendless Too breathless to defend, I descend to the depths Of the mess I've ama**ed I get no rest from the devil on my back And I plead for my peace like a dead man walking I plead for my peace and I can't stand more of this I plead for my peace as the darkness taunts me And I plead for my peace from a past that haunts me
