[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 up the flames they bring about


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

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 mе out, knock me out

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


[Verse 2]

Sеlfish, 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 (Shh), walking me across a fragile line


[Pre-Chorus]

I sold my soul to a three-piece (Ah-ah)

And he told me I was holy (Ah-ah)

He's got me down on both knees (Ah-ah)

But it's the devil that's tryna


[Chorus]

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


[Bridge]

So hold me down now

Hold me down now

Hold me down


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

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
