Dance With the Devil
Hoods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the drugs and the liquor I drank last night
Morning is a daze, in bed I lay
As soon as night breaks, I'll do it again
And I'm sorry I can't think straight
Give me anything to numb this pain that I feel inside, just want to die!
Wake up cold, I shake in bed
Wait a minute, I said that before
As I lose control, I fall on the floor
Another night, numbness and pain
Here we go, as I lose it again - fuck!
Until I break!
Until I break!
Until I break!
Until I break!
Until I break!
Until I break!

Tired of being sick inside
I'm fed up with feeling terrible all the time
From the drugs and the liquor I drank last night
I know I feel this way because of the drugs and alcohol I consumed yesterday
Morning is a daze, in bed I lay
I feel so out of it in the morning that I can barely get out of bed
As soon as night breaks, I'll do it again
Despite feeling awful, I know I will continue to drink and use drugs as soon as it gets dark again
And I'm sorry I can't think straight
I know my behavior is hurting myself and others, but I feel too messed up to control it
Give me anything to numb this pain that I feel inside, just want to die!
I am so desperate to escape the pain I feel that I am willing to try anything, even if it means risking my life
Wake up cold, I shake in bed
The physical toll of my addiction is causing me to experience intense withdrawal symptoms
This is the last time I'll ever do that again
I've made this promise to myself before, but I'm not sure if I can keep it
Wait a minute, I said that before
I can't believe how many times I've told myself I would stop and then continue to use drugs and alcohol anyway
As I lose control, I fall on the floor
My addiction has taken over my body and I no longer have control over my actions
Another night, numbness and pain
I know what's in store for me tonight - I'll feel nothing but numbness and pain
Here we go, as I lose it again - fuck!
Despite knowing what's coming, I can't help but feel frustrated and upset with myself for falling back into old habits
Until I break!
I am determined to keep using drugs and alcohol until I reach my breaking point
Until I break!
I won't stop using and abusing substances until my body and mind can't take it anymore
Until I break!
I am willing to risk everything - my health, my relationships, even my life - in order to continue using drugs and alcohol
