Why why why can’t I Seem to hold my head up high It must be the devil in my ear I'm not good enough so what’s the use Self medicate and self abuse It must be the devil in my ear I try to push them all away But those thoughts they stick around Thriving on my pain And they keep bringing me down I pray to God for a peace of mind For the gloom to disappear I can’t find a cause to live With the devil in my ear Why why why can’t I Seem to fall asleep at night It must be the devil in my head Depression and anxiety I can’t shake the grip that they got on me I know the devil’s gotten in my brain I try to push them all away But those thoughts they stick around Thriving on my pain And they keep bringing me down I pray to God for a peace of mind For the gloom to disappear I can’t find a cause to live With the devil in my ear Why why why can’t I Seem to hold my head up high It must be the devil’s in my ear I don’t wanna die I wanna live But my life can’t go on like this Not another day with the devil in my ear Not another day with the devil in my ear Not another day with the devil in my ear
