I been lost in the darkness for so long, I can't see the life. I been strung out, burned out, left out, An' hung out to dry. So I say to myself that I wanna get better: Hidin' 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 hauntin' me there on the shelf. I can't help myself. An' my excuses are so old an' tired: Hell, I forget 'em. I keep fallin', an' crawlin', an' drownin' 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 hauntin' 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 goin' out of my mind. I'm down on my knees: I'm beggin' you please, Make me somebody else: I can't help myself. Instrumental Break. (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. Lord, I can't help myself.
