- Lyrics:

[Verse 1:]
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, but my words, they explode like hand grenades
I just gotta stay calm, before I let this time bomb blow up in my face

[Chorus 1:]
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

[Verse 2:]
the hounds have helped me cry
that's how they give to me
inject my head with lies, the pain's astonishing
like a flick or a stone, slowing crushing my bones, sending me to my grave
and if such a fate this life that I am going insane

[Chorus 2:]
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

[Chorus 3:]
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
