PRESSURE

Blank pages, caffeine, and late nights
Running circles in your own mind
Invisible and you don't feel right
Wishing they could see straight through to you

Maybe the stars will all collide
But they're losing light from 9 to 5
Chasin' gold, but where's the silver line?
Wishin' you were still twenty-two

Gotta get away right now
Gotta find a way somehow
To not let anybody hold you down
Wish I knew then what I know now

I'm tired of feeling lost inside
This pressure's eating me alive
Gotta find a way to free myself now
Your voice is getting too loud
This pressure's eating me alive

Head filled with big dreams and city lights
But your mind is always preoccupied
Easy saying that you're alright
It's anything and everything but true

You feel like dying on the inside
Chasing demons to get a rise
Why do we tell ourselves lies?
The ones that we could never live up to

I'm tired of feeling lost inside
This pressure's eating me alive
Gotta find a way to free myself now
Your voice is getting too loud
This pressure's eating me alive

I've been tested and beat down
And pushed to the brink
And my God, they waged all their wars on me
But I pulled myself up
Right out of the ruins
And I will build this empire, but I'm only human

Embrace the pressure
It's screaming out your name
Embrace the pressure
When it hits you like a tidal wave

I'm tired of feeling lost inside
This pressure's eating me alive
Gotta find a way to free myself now
Your voice is getting too loud
This pressure's eating me alive

I'm tired of feeling lost inside
This pressure's eating me alive
Gotta find a way to free myself now
Your voice is getting too loud
This pressure's eating me alive

It's eating me alive
