Richard Michael Poet I do not know?

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
