Hold Me Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
I need them mechanically make the words come out
They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
Ignite me, licking up the flames they bring about
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He's got me down on both knees
But it's the devil that's tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door
Make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more
This is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end
Watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more
This is what I live for
Selfish, taking what I want and call it mine
I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine
They rush me, telling me I'm running out of time
They shush me, walking me across a fragile line
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He's got me down on both knees
But it's the devil that's tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door
Make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more
This is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end
Watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more
This is what I live for
Hold me down now
Hold me down now
Hold me down
I sold my soul to a three-piece
And he told me I was holy
He's got me down on both knees
But it's the devil that's tryna
Hold me down, hold me down
Sneaking out the back door
Make no sound
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more
This is what I live for
Hold me down, hold me down
Throw me in the deep end
Watch me drown
Knock me out, knock me out
Saying that I want more
This is what I live for
