The Devil I Released

I can’t beat these instincts

So many things I’ve lost

In this bittersweet hell

Can someone help me through this struggle

I can’t manage myself

 

So what if you see the wildest side of me?

Don’t hope that you can alter this devil, so long subdued

Please persuade me, it’s an illusion

Can somebody help me tame this demon

(This devil, this devil)

 

Can’t beat this devil

So many times I’ve tried

It is out of control

Can someone help me through this struggle

I can’t manage myself

 

So what if you can see the wildest side of me?

Don’t hope that you can alter this devil, so long subdued

Please persuade me, it’s an illusion

Can somebody help me tame the devil I released

Please persuade me, it’s an illusion

Can somebody help me tame this demon

 

Can someone get me through this struggle

I can’t manage myself

Can someone help me through this struggle

I can’t beat these instincts

 

So what if you can see the wildest side of me?

Don’t hope that you can alter this devil, so long subdued

Please persuade me, it’s an illusion

Can somebody help me tame the devil I released

Please persuade me, it’s an illusion

Can somebody help me tame this demon

 

The devil I released
