Verse 1

I got a feeling there's a place for me
'Cause I can see the void has opened up a vacancy, yeah
And once I'm there, ain't got no way to leave
If the demons lock me up, I'll throw away the key

In this verse, the singer expresses a sense of inevitability about their mental state. The "place for me" suggests a dark acceptance of where they are, while the "void" hints at emptiness. The imagery of being locked up by demons gives a chilling sense of being trapped with no escape. It's like they know the darkness is coming, and they feel powerless against it.

Drag me to Hell
The darkest part of me comes out
'Cause I can't run from what is hiding in the darkness

All of these bad thoughts that I'm gonna have again
Should I lock 'em out or should I let 'em in?
I feel 'em eating at my head again

Cut the cord, no remorse, never coming back
Schizophrenic psychopath, I'm a maniac
I'm a maniac, I'm a maniac

Call the morgue, got a corpse, body's in the back
Cut the cord, no remorse, never coming back
(Drag me to Hell)

It's hiding in the dark, it's hidden in my heart
Eating up my heart, it pulls me down
