 I've been lost  in the darkness for so long I can't see the light
 I've been strung  out, burned out, left out and hung out to dry
 So I say  to myself, that I wanna  get better
Hidin'  from the truth, I can't  last forever
Jesus  help me
Obviously,  I can't help  myself
I've  got nobody  else
Send  me an Angel
Someone  to strangle
 That ol' Demon
 That's haunting  me there on the shelf
I  can't help myself
 My excuses  are so old and tired, hell I forgot  'em
 I keep fallin'  and crawlin' and drownin' down here on the bottom
 Yeah I pushed  back my brothers said goodbye  to my friends
When  you get in this deep the hell  never ends
Jesus  help me
Obviously,  I can't help  myself
I've  got nobody  else
Send  me an Angel
Someone  to strangle
 That ol' demon
 That's haunting  me there on the shelf
I  can't help myself
 Give me a reason to live;  and show me a sign
 I'm on the edge;  goin' out of my mind
 I'm down on my knees;  I'm beggin' you please  make me somebody else
I  can't help myself
 I need  something stronger; pour  it all over me
 PARTIAL CHORUS
Send  me an Angel
Someone  to strangle
 That ol' demon
'Cause  you know that I never will
I  can't help myself
 Lord, I can't help myself
