Consumed by shortcomings it's the calm before the storm Denying my conscience kept the needle in my arm All the lonely nights I spent passed out aside an empty bed left me suffering Absent of your company Hallelu I got them demons up in my head Hallelu got a few monsters under my bed All of the things I should have said An empty bottle's my only friend But where were you, tell me where were you Oh blinded by substance what a vicious life I've lived Caught up in the heartache and smothered by my sin It's this constant walking sideways that's caused a resonating shame Quick not to listen, I've got no one left to blame All the lonely nights I spent passed out aside an empty bed left me suffering Absent of your company Hallelu I got them demons up in my head Hallelu got a few monsters under my bed All of these things I should have said An empty bottle's my only friend But where were you, oh where were you All these obstacles in my head, oh I hope I'm not better off dead My souls trying to get out my chest but my shoes are filled with lead Well I've been running out of breath cause all of the ruthless things you said I gave everything I had but where were you, where were you
