In my head
emphatic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

GET OUT
You'll take it away...
So I'm through with it

Taking my life
Hard to resist

Now it's over you are sour

Choke on the life
Because it's reaches in
My vote is off because
You won't give in

Now it's over you are sour

GET OUT
Get out, Get out without a doubt

Get out of my life now
I got you in my head
Locked inside my soul
I've got to end my life

With you now
I got in my head
Locked inside my soul
I've got to end my life
With you
I am through with you

Now
Taking my life because I'm through

With this now
I am fine because you

Don't exist
Now it's over
You are sour
Now is the time I can
Hear you scream
Why don't you lie
So you can have a dream
Now it's over

You are sour
GET OUT
Get out, Get out without a doubt
Get out of my life now
I got you in my head
Locked inside my soul

I've got to end my life
With you now
I got you in my head
Locked inside my soul
I've got to end my life

With you
I am through with you now
This holding tight
Drains all my life
From my soul
Deciding your style
Get out of me demons
Let me be now go now
DESTROY, DESTROY YOUR LIFE
I got you in my head
Locked inside my soul
I've got to end my life
With you now
I got in my head
Locked inside my soul
I've got to end my life
With you now




I am through with you now I've got to end my life with you
I am through with you.
