lyrics

HELP ME UP (KNOCK ME OUT)

you’re so tired of starting over again
so you hide away in your own private hell
the four walls of your home, they swallow you whole
this city’s lost its charm, but it can never do you harm

slowly as a lifetime fades away
while you try to fix a house that’s long decayed

I can’t help but wonder
is the ship now going under
and leave us to drown with no one else around
help me up and knock me out now
let’s find a way out somehow
or just stay until the water fills our lungs

we find ourselves looking back too many times
try to find some meaning, reason or rhyme
the house that you once called your home got sold
on the outside looking in, it feels so sad and cold

slowly as a lifetime fades away
while you try to fix a house that’s long decayed

I can’t help but wonder
is the ship now going under
and leave us to drown with no one else around
help me up and knock me out now
let’s find a way out somehow
or just stay until the water fills our lungs

Not Like This
by Iron Chic

supported by 6 fans who also own “Help Me Up (Knock Me Out)”

Iron Chic's narrative, some of the most aware & conscientious lyrics you will find in punk. The music is just as damn good... "There's no answers, so take a guess & make up the rest" "I couldn't stand to watch you die, so I died first, that's how I survived" 🌸💀🌸💀🌸 ©ough©ool
