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

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”…..
