Before I Self Destruct By Aaron Ace Cook

When you succumb to the demons that dwell in the darkest corners of your soul, 
When you picked up the bottle 
And collected those pills, 
You chose your path. 
When you claim no one helps but refuse the hand held out 
You chose what you wanted. 
And maybe its not your fault. 
Sometimes the devil inside wins, 
Sometimes the world chews you up and spits you back out 
Who knows? 
Or maybe you knew what you were doing 
Maybe you didn't care. 
So take what you want 
Enjoy that drink and enjoy those pills. 
Take time feeding those demons 
Because it won't be enough, 
Not for them on your long path of self destruction
always come with repercussions but fuck it who's rushing 
party like you only have 3 weeks left to live. The clock keeps
ticking and i keep drinking and thinking of a new life without jail
or prison, so let me fuck my whole world up before I go in and yes
ill ask for your permission before i start popping and hitting. Put your
self in my situation...what would you do? better yet show me a demonstration
how you can be better then...go head im listening
