Yeah, I'm just drunk driving again Pulling away from all my sins Tell my momma I love her and take care of my friends When I'm out drunk driving again I don't wanna leave you lonely but I've got to 'Cause it's only the things I need to prove To you and everybody else that scares me so damn much I can't take it, I'm not strong enough to stay It's probably best that I move on and fade away Get outta here before I do more damage than I've done I've been running from the devil since before this all begun The bottle's getting lighter and the road is getting long I keep telling myself I'm fine but everything is wrong The yellow lines keep blurring and I'm singing to the night Too scared to face the morning and too drunk to face the light And somewhere down the road I lost the man I used to be Now I'm just a drunk devil holding on to what I can't keep That's why I'm drunk driving again Running away from all of my sins Tell my momma I love her and take care of my friends 'Cause everybody's gotta die somehow Why not for me right now, right now We're digging in the mines for gold long gone When everything we thought we always knew Turns out wrong How do we hold on? Tell me, what the hell is going on? If I were the devil, first thing that I'd do Is come off like I ever gave a damn about you Let you catch a peek of all your greatest desires And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire I'd find all the wolves scattered throughout the land And I'd make them fight each other tooth and nail and hand to hand I'd find all the sheep and make 'em stir up the pot 'Cause once the wolves have killed each other The sheep are what I want I'd place that thorny crown upon my furrowed brow And shine in all the tears of joy they're yellin' from the crowd I'd creep into the living rooms and plant seeds in their minds Then raise a generation that was perfectly designed I'd twist the tongues of preachers and I'd poison every well Turn every truth to rumor and every heaven into hell I'd make you doubt your neighbor and I'd make you fear your kin Then I'd pour another drink and let the chaos all begin 'Cause I'm just a drunk devil and this bottle is my crown Holding on to what is gone while I'm watching it all burn down The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground That's why I'm drunk driving again Running away from all of my sins Tell my momma I love her and take care of my friends 'Cause everybody's gotta die somehow Why not for me right now, right now We're digging in the mines for gold long gone When everything we thought we always knew Turns out wrong How do we hold on? Tell me, what the hell is going on? The road signs we once followed have all but disappeared The children are inheriting a world we left in flames And we keep pointing all our fingers but we're all the ones to blame The wolves have turned to suits and ties and seats behind a desk And the sheep are so divided they can't see what's coming next How do we always act surprised when all our monsters come to life When we built them in the daylight and we fed them every night The pillars they are crumbling and the bricks are being pulled And the stories that we're telling ourselves aren't what they should The road is getting darker and the dawn feels far away And I'm drunk driving through the ruins of everything we made Just a drunk devil on a highway paved with what we used to own Holding on to what is gone, too far gone to find my way back home In rolling blackout candlelight An algorithm we can't fight Everything we built is burning down in real time And we're scrolling through the ashes trying to find a sign As I place that thorny crown upon my furrowed brow I'm shining in the tears of everything I can't allow For my final act I'll tell you what it'd be I'd have everyone so medicated they could never see My cloven hooves or horned head, perfectly disguised And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise They'd hand me all the keys and never ask me why Just smile and nod and medicate and slowly say goodbye We're driving through the dark just hoping for a dawn A drunk devil at the wheel still holding on to what's gone Here I was hoping that someone could tell me What the hell is going on? The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground That's why I'm drunk driving again Running away from all of my sins Tell my momma I love her and take care of my friends 'Cause everybody's gotta die somehow Why not for me right now, right now We're digging in the mines for gold long gone When everything we thought we always knew Turns out wrong How do we hold on? Tell me, what the hell is going on?
