Hold Me Down - Halsey

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 (Shh)

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 do-o-o-o-own

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
