LYRICS:
I’ve got a lot of bad things in my mind
The simulation crashing by design
And my mind is dangerous
Don’t play with things you don’t
know know know know

I’m falling into dark thoughts that I find
Reality is long gone but that’s fine
And my mind is dangerous
Don’t play with things you don’t
know know know know

I know you hate to see it, but you never wanna talk about it
And hate yourself a little more when you can’t live without it
It’s like praying for rain when you’re already drowning
You’re already drowning, Yeah

So go ahead and twist the knife, I can’t feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It’s like praying for rain but I’m already drowning

I keep staring at the sun
it’s in my blood
I’m heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun
Have I gone numb? it’s a God damn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I’m holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
Cause I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with

I keep on falling like it’s summer going into autumn
I keep on digging even though I’m bout to hit the bottom
I keep praying for change, but I never found it, no I never found it

Yeah

So go ahead and twist the knife, I can’t feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It’s like praying for change but I never found it

I keep staring at the sun
it’s in my blood
I’m heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun
Have I gone numb? it’s a God damn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I’m holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
Cause I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with

Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I’m holding onto hope, it’s a problem I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The Devil is real and I’m caught in his grip
Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I’m holding onto hope, it’s a problem I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The Devil is real
And I’m caught in his grip

I keep staring at the sun
it’s in my blood
I’m heading for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun
Have I gone numb? it’s a God damn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I’m holding onto hope, but it only destroys me
Cause I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with bad things
Yeah I’m in love with

The Devil is real and I’m caught in his grip

“It’s like praying for rain when you’re already drowning”… Great line. Great song. Great band.

[blakewalker]

Absolutely digging this track. The chorus melody is so catchy, and the breakdown riff is immaculate

[patriciailges]

I’m 62 years old and this song is amazing! I don’t care what a lot of people from my generation think about the younger music, I love it lol. These younger musicians are talented geniuses just like the older musicians were.

[bitplayz]

I’m not a drug addict. But as a person with mental health issues this song touches so perfectly on the reality of everything. Pushing people away, self destructive behavior. This song is so good and I relate to it so much. Thank you guys!

[jarrah]

ARCHITECTS, BEARTOOTH AND I PREVAIL IN ONE DAY I LOVE THIS WORLD

[mengaoatemorrer]

The energy is so liberating. People who don't listen this type of music will never understand

[nicolethompson]

"It's like praying for rain, but I'm already drowning"... THIS. ❤️❤️❤️

[vishwajeet]

The way I Prevail combines sick rapping verses with melodic choruses with screaming is what gets my heart every time. Love from India❤️

[dac_]

Brian's clean vocals have come a long way, I like how they balance them with a nice balance of Eric's screams and cleans. The chorus is super catchy, which is what hooked me. But the breakdown with Eric's screams caught me by surprise. It's just so well done ! I get some Linkin Park vibes which is a good thing.

[jessicafreitag]

Definitely my favorite song so far, and the irony that I’m a recovering alcoholic isn’t lost on me.
6 years 6 months and 13 days.

[TheJoker-rjjy]

A minute of silence for those who don't know this song.

[gatkins]

Holy crap. Is anybody going to talk about that breakdown. I literally got the shivers from that. Overall song is typical I prevail song which is not a bad thing. Probably one of my top 5 favourite band so I am happy with typical. The last song was a bit different which was also awesome but I do prefer this bit dam that breakdown got me man.

[MissTiffMischief]

I'm a 50yo women. I've lost 158 lbs & been working out. I'm using this song to get myself worked up to do a strength challenge today. I think Gasoline is the one that will get my blood really pumping tho! Thanks guys, keep it heavy af!

[anjaenzo]

Ich bin 53 Jahre und ich liebe diese Band abgöttisch. Fahre ich Einsätze, läuft diese geniale Band schon auf höherer Lautstärke. Danke "Jungs", ihr macht mein Leben bunter!

[jdmusic]

Your music has literally saved my life these last couple of weeks. I don't know how to talk to people in my life about this stuff without them feeling pity for me and that just makes things worse. I'm glad to know I'm not alone. I wish everyone reading this the strength to push forward. I won't give up so let's all make it together.

[TheDilCam]

CAN I JUST SAY.
IT'S SO NICE TO BE FINALLY HEARING NEW I PREVAIL AFTER THE MASTERPIECE THAT WAS TRAUMA.
MASSIVELY HYPED FOR THIS NEXT ALBUM.

[LukeFrank-crv]

I can't get enough of this song. The vibe and energy I get from this is unreal! It's a repeater and will love to see them play it live!

[nickdrouillard]

the melodic progression in this chorus.... gives me Pure chills and is unmatched

[ExtrumComics]

I Prevail never disappoints.
Their lyrics and vocals just hit different and
they deliver on point.

[CaptainAflowers]

Verse 1]
I got a lotta bad things in my mind
This simulation crashing by design
And my mind is dangerous, doing clever things
You don't know know know know
I'm falling into dark thoughts that I find
Reality is long-gone but that's fine
And my mind is dangerous, don't play with things
You don't know know know know

[Verse 2]
I know you hate to see it but you never wanna talk about it
And hate yourself a little more when you can't live without it
It's like praying for rain when you're already drowning
You're already drowning, yeah
So go ahead and twist the knife, I can feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It's like praying for rain but I'm already drowning
Chorus]
I keep staring at the sun, it's in my blood
I'm headed for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun, have I gone numb?
It's a goddamn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I'm holding onto hope but it only destroys me
'Cause I'm in love with bad things (bad things)
Yeah, I'm in love with

[Verse 3]
I keep on falling like it's summer going into autumn
I keep on digging even though I'm 'bout to hit the bottom
It's like praying for change but I never found it
No, I never found it, yeah
So go ahead and twist the knife, I can feel the damage
Always searching for the high, never kicked the habit
It's like praying for change but I never found it

[Chorus]
I keep staring at the sun, it's in my blood
I'm headed for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun, have I gone numb?
It's a goddamn shame
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I'm holding onto hope but it only destroys me
'Cause I'm in love with bad things (bad things)
Yeah, I'm in love with

[Bridge]
Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I'm holding onto hope, it's a problem, I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I've missed
The devil is real and I'm caught in his grip
Looking into the abyss, the future is a myth
I'm holding onto hope, it's a problem, I admit
Letting go of my fear, a feeling I miss
The devil is real, and I'm caught in his grip
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
I keep staring at the sun, it's in my blood
I'm headed for disaster
Burn bridges just for fun, have I gone numb? (Gone numb)
It's a goddamn shame (goddamn shame)
I push away the people that I love the most
Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals
I'm holding onto hope but it only destroys me
'Cause I'm in love with bad things
(I push away the people that I love the most) (bad things)
(Addicted to the feeling and the chemicals)
Yeah, I'm in love with bad things
(I'm holding onto hope but it only destroys me) (bad things)
Yeah, I'm in love with

[Outro]
The devil is real and I'm caught in his grip
