It burns going down
I hurt but I'm proud
I said I'd turn it around
But these words from my mouth
They don't make a sound
It burns going down
I hurt but I'm proud
I tried to turn it around
But it burns going down
It burns going down
Another bottle of Beam
It's calling his name
What started at a party
Now is part his routine
He said no to cocaine
So I guess he's OK
But the alcohol's become
Another problem within
But he's living his dream
At least that's what it seems
He stays fit and lean
A fresh cut and clean
But depression's mean
It makes him keep those scars
That he hides tucked up his sleeve
Cause when he was a boy
He like to feel the pain
The anxiety inside him
Made him feel insane
It's like a riot in his mind
And he can't explain
Why the fire dies inside him
When he feels the blade
Everybody is afraid of him
He can't relate
To any other kid his age
So he feels ashamed
And he hides away
Until he grows up and sheds his shell
Then he finds a way to hide the pain
Disguised as a guy who's great
But the demon on his back
Still stuck to him
Every time he knocks back
Another cup of Jim
Old feelings come back
Like the blood that drips
The demon falls off
When the numbness hits
But the self-destructive
Concept's the same
But it numbs the pain
I guess nothing's changed
It burns going down
I hurt but I'm proud
I said I'd turn it around
But these words from my mouth
They don't make a sound
It burns going down
I hurt but I am proud
I tried to turn it around
But it burns going down
Now he's got it together
Got a solid profession
His wallet is bigger
He swallowed the bitter pill
Of putting the bottle down
He's a fatherly figure
To his son and daughters
He promised the love of his life
He was going to give her
All he can deliver
His vision's a big one
But the demon that sits on his back
Is so much bigger
It wanted to kill him
The depression swallows his will
To hold back from his triggers
The bottle is chilling on the top shelf
He said screw it and bought it
And went on a rendezvous with it
Threw up and hated himself
Because he felt like he was a loser
Consuming the alcohol
Making excuses
Now he's just a boozer
He's losing his health from it
He feels like a nuisance to his family
Concealing the bruises
He grew up with mentally ruined
He's screwing up heavily
Truly it's costing him everything
And you would think
He was a truly good person
Presumed as a man full of purpose
The truth is that he feels
Deserted, secluded and worthless
It burns going down
I hurt but I'm proud
I said I'd turn it around
But these words from my mouth
They don't make a sound
It burns going down
I hurt but I am proud
I tried to turn it around
But it burns going down
It burns going down
It burns going down
It burns going down
