I Can't Help Myself

(álbum: Get Right With The Man - 2005)

I been lost in the darkness for so long
I can't see the light
I been strung out, burned out, left out
An' hung out to dry
So I say to myself that I wanna get better
Hiding from the truth, I can't last forever

Jesus, help me
Obviously, I can't help myself
I've got nobody else
Send me an angel: someone to strangle
That old demon that's haunting me there on the shelf
I can't help myself

An' my excuses are so old an' tired
Hell, I forget 'em
I keep falling, an' crawling, an' drowning
Down here on the bottom
Yeah, I've pushed back my brothers, said goodbye to my friends
When you get in this deep, the hell never ends

Jesus, help me
Obviously, I can't help myself
I've got nobody else
Send me an angel: someone to strangle
That old demon that's haunting me there on the shelf
I can't help myself

Gimme a reason to live an' show me a sign
I'm on the edge going out of my mind
I'm down on my knees: I'm begging you please
Make me somebody else: I can't help myself

(No!)

I need something stronger
Pour it all over me

Send me an angel: someone to strangle
That old demon
'Cause you know that I never will
I can't help myself
