The dreams inside your head are a battleground
For the baggage in your life that has kept you down
A killer in you that's always on the attack!
It drags you through the mud
As your skull's about to crack!
It drags you through the mud
As your skull's about to crack!

If it tries to suck you dry tonight
Will you put up a fight? Will you put up a fight?
If it stabs you in the back tonight
Will you put up a fight? Will you put up a fight?
If it eats you like a plague tonight
Will you put up a fight? Will you put up a fight?
If you start to suffocate tonight
Will you put up a fight?
PUT UP A FIGHT!

DEAD WEIGHT! DEAD WEIGHT!
It's keeping me down I've got dead weight

You've got mixed emotions that you can't hide
Why don't you deal with the pain
You feel deep inside?
Get on with your life 'cause all this shit's off track!
Take control and get this monkey of your back!
Take control and get this monkey of your back!

If it hypnotizes you tonight
Will you put up a fight? Will you put up a fight?
If you start to get abused tonight
Will you put up a fight? Will you put up a fight?
If it wants to drag you out tonight
Will you put up a fight? Will you put up a fight?
If you're chased in your sleep tonight
Will you put up a fight?
PUT UP A FIGHT!

DEAD WEIGHT! DEAD WEIGHT!
It's keeping me down I've got dead weight

Don't hold your breath...

DEAD WEIGHT! DEAD WEIGHT!
It's keeping me down I've got dead weight
