    Intro:
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They been hauntin' my dreams and I can't think straight 'cause they won't stop screamin'
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They keep talkin' to me but I can't tell 'em shit 'cause they can't keep a secret
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They been hauntin' my dreams and I can't think straight 'cause they won't stop screamin'
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They keep talkin' to me but I can't tell 'em shit 'cause they can't keep a secret
    What the fuck am I to do?
    What the fuck am I to do?
    What the fuck am I to do?
    What the fuck am I to do?
    When there's nothin' left...
    Cause I don't wanna feel shit, someone must've hit a kill switch
    They don't ask about the problems that I deal with
    Fuck all of this money you can have it I don't feel rich
    I keep havin' these flashbacks I hate 'em
    They remind me of my problems, I can't stand to face 'em
    I know it's prolly my last to change 'em
    But even if I do it my past can't erase it
    They recognize me 'cause they see me on the internet
    They think I owe 'em somethin' I can't deal with all the disrespect
    Sick to my stomach, when I feel it I just disconnect
    My demons tend get the best of me when I get depressed
    I've been stabbed in the back with a chainsaw
    But who am I to blame y'all, I'm smokin 'til the pain's gone
    You see me smilin on the surface tryna stay strong
    Actin' like I'm happy starts to feel like it's my day job
    But just as long as there's a purpose to it all
    I'll keep tourin workin' hard, writin verses to these songs
    Far from perfect, every person has their flaws
    And mine is I'm an addict still searchin for a cause
    I know they judge me for mistakes that I've made
    Since I've gained all this fame shit just ain't been the same
    I came in the game to pave a lane for my name
    And it's painful to say it put's restraints on my brain but
    I know it's worth it cause I get to tell my story
    I'm at a point where the industry can't ignore me
    I never had the main stream media to endorse me
    I did this all by me and myself and y'all are corny
    To every kid that's listenin to this song
    I hope you've found the message I've written within it all
    If no one's ever there to pick you up when you fall
    I promise you're not alone, play this shit and just hit the wall 'cause
    I've been fallin asleep with, all of my demons
    They been hauntin my dreams and I can't think straight 'cause they won't stop screamin'
    I've been fallin asleep with, all of my demons
    They keep talkin to me but I can't tell 'em shit 'cause they can't keep a secret
    I've been fallin asleep with, all of my demons
    They been hauntin my dreams and I can't think straight 'cause they won't stop screamin'
    I've been fallin asleep with, all of my demons
    They keep talkin to me but I can't tell 'em shit 'cause they can't keep a secret
    I know you listenin' for somethin' to relate to
    I know the feelin' like the whole world hates you
    I know you wishin' you could finally have a breakthrough
    You thought it was a phase so you pretend you're in a great mood
    I know it hurts to see reflections of yourself
    'Cause the person that you see is not like everybody else
    So you try and you try but it never seems to help
    So you're questionin' your words 'cause you're so fed up with the guilt
    But...
    You're not the only one that's goin' through regret
    You're not the only one that no one seems to get
    You're not the only one that's so close to the edge
    And if you slip it's over for you so you cope with it instead
    I can promise you that nobody is perfect and you overthink the little shit you're always so concerned with
    So you lock yourself inside everynight and close the curtains
    And you're screamin' out loud but it's like no one even heard it
    I know problems keep pilin' up right in front of you
    So much anxiety inside you don't know what to do
    Been lied to so much you that you don't think you even want the truth
    Fuck it, aww you grew to be used it, it ain't nothin' new
    I been there too, just hold tight
    A lot of substance abuse and long nights
    But next time I see all my demons it's on sight
    Next time I see all my demons it's on sight yeah....
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They been hauntin' my dreams and I can't think straight 'cause they won't stop screamin'
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They keep talkin' to me but I can't tell 'em shit 'cause they can't keep a secret
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They been hauntin' my dreams and I can't think straight 'cause they won't stop screamin'
    I've been fallin' asleep with, all of my demons
    They keep talkin' to me but I can't tell 'em shit 'cause they can't keep a secret

      I agree with you that Merk is legit, he's in my top 5 along with Tech, Jelly Roll, Chris Webby & Tom MacDonald, but he's got over a million subs on TH-cam & probably over a million monthly streams on Spotify alone, not counting people like me who have TH-cam Premium & use TH-cam Music over Spotify, dudes far from underrated. I think what you mean is Merk, the others I named & many more that I didn't name deserve to be the mainstream played on the radio. Chris Webby on the other hand, that dude is criminally underrated, cause even though I'm sure his streaming numbers are just as well as any of the others, he has less than 400k subs on TH-cam & he's an OG of the underground lyrical rappers, even though I don't agree with his far left politics, Webby deserves more recognition than that on TH-cam

I listen to all of the rappers you just nammed and no one has herd or ak but he has also over a mil subs but no one knows his true tallent. I started listening to a k and merkules at the same time roughly about four years ago and they are my top two favorite rappers by far dax comes in a close third

    Merk.. in my opinion, this is one of the best, if not the best. Everything you spit is fuckin real, i live with severe anxiety, major depressive disorder and PTSD. I was completely addicted to drugs for 10 years, 2 years clean now..
    But that by no means makes life much easier.. my self doubt is just as crippling as my mental issues. Sometimes all i can do is throw on some MERK and ill be able to get through one more night.
    Just knowing there are others who strugge with / have struggled with the same issuess while still living a good life help.
    Moment, This Again, Goosebumps, Jocelyn Flores rmx, Demons, All Night Long and Reject are at the top in my opinion. The lyrics, the emotion are spot on - Thank you Merk.. your a motherfuckin beast bro

      Never think your alone mate when I was 18 my best friend was murdered on my doorstep by a b**th that was thought he was me over fight we had the night before. After I dealt with it I turned to alcohol immediately then spent 4 years on every drug I could find and spent 90% of my time locked away in bedroom. It’s now 3 years after all of that an I’m slowing getting my life back together. I’ve got a full time job, slowing learning to trust people again and spending more an more time outside. Haven’t forgiven myself an don’t think I even deserve it.
      It’ll never be easy for people who have been threw real shit brother but it does get easier trust me. You just need to never forget the people who care about you deserve the best you you can give them and use that to push threw the dark thoughts and all the bullsh*t that comes with it.
      P.s please don’t feel sorry for me I don’t deserve it. I only put this out there so he know his not alone.

    • @chrispy6953
      @chrispy6953 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Good job bro, I'm almost in the exact same shoes. Mental health, PTSD, during my sobriety I lost my father figure and was mad at the world because my blood father wasnt taken instead, blood dad is a p.o.s..
      I was addicted to opiates for 10 years, just broke my 2n1/2 years sober. It's never easy but remember man, any bad day sober is better than ANY day being in addiction. I'd rather take real world problems and stress over dealing with withdrawals, stealing, and selling everything I own to get another line.
      I had one REALLY BAD overdose that kinda set me straight along with breaking away from a relationship with a girl I was gonna marry, we were addicts together in a very toxic relationship that I tried to fix by getting clean for her and she the same for me, but getting clean wasn't the answer because it was still toxic and she relapsed and went to jail 3 years ago and I haven't heard from her since but it's better for the both of us to stay apart and hopefully she's happy and safe. In order for us to both be happy, we had to fall off each other's radar completely.
      You're not alone my friend. We struggle the same kinda way.
      Proud of you for the hard work and keep it up my guy. I know you're strong enough to keep going down the right direction.
      Seriously, regular people don't know how hard it is to stay clean, I'm proud of you for real.

    • @mrsdevine161
      @mrsdevine161 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    • @chrispy6953
      @chrispy6953 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@mrsdevine161 I can't agree more... I was with that girl for 11 years and between that toxic and the opiates, I couldn't look in the mirror. I had this thing where if I saw a reflection of myself I'd get really disgusted or space out with thoughts of self hate.
      I hated...hated who I was.
      I miss not being alone, but I want my health more than a relationship.
      11 years seems like a lifetime out of addiction. I'm only 1/5 of the way spent out of addiction, that I had spent in addiction.
      It's scary and learning to do things alone is just as scary but my problems will only get worse if I start snorting pills again.
      I congratulate you on your 11 years my friend.

    His line that says "Far from perfect; every person has their flaws, and mine is I'm an addict still searching for a cause." Fuck that shit hits fucking deep

    I hate my demons. Everyday I fight them inside my head and it’s exhausting. The pains and regret about things I can’t fix is too much. I honestly don’t know how much longer I can g on

    Anyone who don’t like Merkules music is out there mind. Been waiting for him to hit a concert in NY @merkules keep grinding there is not 1 track you have made that I have not liked. He is my top music artist and has been coming out with hits for a while now he’s been next up

      I've seen Merk live 5 times, ranging from the first year he toured with 30 people at a nightclub all the way to a sold out show of a couple thousand people, i can safely say he kills his live shows and puts everything he has into every show he performs regardless of who's there. I hope you get the opportunity to see him live,

    “I know you wishing you can finally ever break through
    You thought it was a phase, so you pretended you were in a great mood
    I know it hurts to see reflections of yourself cause the person that you see is not like everybody else,
    So you try and you try
    But never seems to help
    So you questioning your worth
    Cause your so fed up with the guilt”

    This song hits me hard.
    I feel this song inside...
    I'm glad to know there's others out there who feel these exact lyrics!
    Growing up fast will do that to you... times I felt like dying, but knew it wasn't worth it.. I can't listen to those 'Demons', cause they drag me down!
    Thanks Merk, for your music! 🤙🏼
