This is the death of me. I feel it constantly Just like an enemy That wants to see me bleed So I try to be silent while my words they explode like hand grenades I just gotta stay calm, before I let this time bomb blow up in my face. These issues pin me to the floor These issues are my overlord I feel so dominated These issues, they choke my like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose The hounds of hell they cry That's how they get to me Inject my head with lies, the pains astonishing Like a brick or a stone, slowing crushing my bones, sending me to my grave And if such a fate this life that I am going insane These issues pin me to the floor These issues are my overlord I feel so dominated These issues, they choke my like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose Issues Issues, they choke me like a noose These issues pin me to the floor These issues are my overlord I feel so dominated These issues, they choke my like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose Issues, they choke me like a noose
