Halsey Lyrics

7. Hold Me Down

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
