The Beast

When I'm all alone, that's when the beast arise, I know that he's here with me though I can't see him with my eyes He arise from deep inside me like bile in my throat pressing me to make a score I'm reaching for my coat When I reach the spot where the devil stands his ground I give him all I've got but I don't hang around He always knows I'm coming I can't stay away for long I know that I should stop all this but I know I'm not that strong I'm aware that drugs are killing me I'm aware that it's just wrong I don't know what they expect from me don't they know I'm not that strong When I'm all alone that's when the beast arise I know that he's here with me though I can't see him with my eyes I'm getting closer to the end I've lost so many friends In the morning I'll be sick again fell like I've got the bends I've just got to get off this ride I know it's all my fault There's nowhere that I can hide I know that I'll be caught The cops have been close on my trail they're watching my back door I won't have the bread to make my bail I just don't care anymore When I'm all alone that's when the beast arise I know that he's here with me though I can't see him with my eyes
