lyrics

Today is just like yesterday which is like the day before
And if that really is the case I should be prepared for what's in store
Laid awake so many nights and slept through so many mornings
Feels like it came out of nowhere but I just ignored the warnings
In reality, I hate what I've become
Because I became comfortable, then I just became numb
All because I believed what I was told
When they said "the devil I know is better than the one that I don't"

The devil I know
The devil I don't
The devil I know

But I could be the one, be the one to break the cycle
If I could just get up and get out of denial
Yeah I could be the one, be the one to let this go
But there's something telling me that I probably won't

Cause it's a habit. I'm addict, not for drugs, not for Captain
But for letting my motivation just shrivel up and then vanish
If I could I would attack, stand over it with a hatchet
But I'm afraid retaliation would put us both in a casket
So I'm staring at my ceiling wondering if I hit my ceiling
Wondering if this is all I got or do I have a greater meaning
And I never get to sleep cause I can't escape it's hold
Because the devil I know is stronger than the one that I don't

The devil I know
The devil I don't
The devil I know

But I could be the one, be the one to break the cycle
If I could just get up and get out of denial
Yeah I could be the one, be the one to let this go
But there's something telling me that I probably won't

So let me go, let me go, the devil I know
