Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 at the flames they bring about
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Selfish, takin' 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 (Shh), walking me across a fragile line
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Hold me down now
Hold me down now
Hold me down
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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
[Verse 12]
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
