Wilderness

Praying for my soul, battling the demons in my head 
Out of control, that bottle keeps me spinning,
My heart aches from being drenched in poison
My soul aches from the battle that I can’t seem to overcome
But then I wake to the sun
Hoping that the Son would bring me someone to help me out this darkness
Alcoholic never thought that would be me
Crippled, miserable in this damn disease
Praying to be saved but go home and drink constantly
How can I think with this insanity that’s wide awake?
Wreaking havoc on my soul
Out of control in this dark hole
Can’t blame anyone but myself
I wish I had some help
Hopeless in the wilderness
Praying for my soul, battling the demons in my head
