Lyrics
I've been lost in the darkness for so long
I can't see the light
I've been strung out, burned out, left out
And hung out to dry
So I say to myself that I wanna get better
Hidin' from the truth, I can't last forever
Jesus, help me, obviously, I can't help myself
I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle that old demon
That's haunting me there on the shelf
I can't help myself
And my excuses are so old and tired
Hell, I forget 'em
I keep fallin' and crawlin' and drownin'
Down here on the bottom
Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends
Jesus, help me, obviously, I can't help myself
And I've got nobody else
Send me an angel, someone to strangle that old demon
That's haunting me there on the shelf
I can't help myself
Give me a reason to live and show me a sign
I'm on the edge, goin' out of my mind
I'm down on my knees
I'm beggin' you, please make me somebody else
I can't help myself, no
I need something stronger, pour it all over me
Send me an angel, someone to strangle that old demon
'Cause you know that I never will
I can't help myself
Lord, I can't help myself
