Page 1: Song Lyric Analysis

My demons are begging me to open up my mouthI need them mechanically make the words come out

They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounceIgnite me, licking up the flames they bring about

I sold my soul to a three-pieceAnd he told me I was holy

He's got me down on both kneesBut it's the devil that's tryna

Hold me down, hold me downSneaking out the back door,

Make no soundKnock me out, knock me out

Saying that I want more, this is what I live for

Hold me down, hold me downThrow me in the deep end, watch me drown

Knock me out, knock me outSaying that I want more, this is what I live for

Selfish, taking what I want and call it mineI'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine

They rush me, telling me I'm running out of timeThey shush me, walking me across a fragile line

“no matter how small you are or how small people make you seem, you should never let anyone hold you down”…..
