Personal Demons

Personal demons are always knocking on the door
Their knocking really hard, that's for sure
Always screaming, do this and do that
Eat alot of food, so you get real fat!
Drink alcohol, take tramadol
Pick up the needle and install
Until your heartbeat comes to a crawl
Don't drop the ball
You wouldn't want to die y'all
Attracted to other people
Not worried about the sequel
This should be illegal
The pain is not equal
This is nothing new to the one's around you
The ones who like to argue
Telling you to get a clue
But you choose to continue
Personal demons are always at the door
There knocking real hard and that's for sure!
