Halsey - Hold Me Down Lyrics

My demons are begging me to open up my mouthI need them, mechanically make the words come outThey 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 holyHe"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 outSaying that I want more, this is what I live for

Hold me down, hold me downThrow me in the deep end, watch me drownKnock 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 spineThey rush me, telling me I"m running out of timeThey shush me (sssh), walking me across a fragile line

I sold my soul to a three-pieceAnd he told me I was holyHe"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 outSaying that I want more, this is what I live for

Hold me down, hold me downThrow me in the deep end, watch me drownKnock me out, knock me outSaying that I want more, this is what I live for

Hold me down nowHold me down nowHold me down

I sold my soul to a three-pieceAnd he told me I was holyHe"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 outSaying that I want more, this is what I live for

Hold me down, hold me downThrow me in the deep end, watch me drownKnock me out, knock me outSaying that I want more, this is what I live for
