The last time I fell I left a piece of myself
I was so broken up, I should've stayed down
Heaven can't you help me, I'm losing this war
I won't die young from just battle scars.

Keep the devil out of my soul.
C'mon and save me,
From a heart of stone
Tell the Lord, he can take me now,
I'm a shell of a man
Just skin and bones

I had a little sister who could drink up a storm.
If the liquor didn't kill her she'd be twenty-one.
The good times, bad times, remember them all?
It must have been the thunder and alcohol.

Keep the devil out of my soul.
C'mon and save me,
From a heart of stone
Tell the Lord, he can take me now,
I'm a shell of a man
Just skin and bones

Skeletons in the closet keep me awake at night.
The thing that really scares me are the monsters,
I live with everyday.
