Creature Of Habit

Every time darkness falls,
A ghost of me will pace the halls
I will weep, I will feel all the pain that I conceal
As they say the devil lives
Inside the bottle, he lives and breathes
He took so many innocent souls
Never let him take ahold
When I was young, I never understood
How the bottle could get you so hooked
To a feeling of running from everything you’re hiding from
How this feeling can be so cruel
I’ve lost control
You can see it in my eyes
This exhausted soul
Oh the shame, to know you know of my disease
All the guilt and regret, I beg for release
If there’s a god, I’m begging on my knees
Addicted, I’m begging for a cure for me
I won’t let this kill me
I hold the key
I’ll lock you out
I’ve been living it up like an animal
Living at the pace you could only imagine
I am exactly what I feared
I’ve been living it up in the nighttime
Where no one knows my name
I am exactly what you feared
But there’s a way out
Oh the shame, to know you know of my disease
All the guilt and regret, I beg for release
If there’s a god, I’m begging on my knees
Addicted, I’m begging for a cure for me
I won’t let this kill me
I won’t let this kill me
I hold the key
I’ll lock you out
You’ll never take me to my grave
I’ll happily pour you down the drain
This strength inside carries me
