Pressure Lines

I feel it under my skin
I feel it under my skin

Lines drawn deep beneath the surface
Every breath feels counterfeit
Pulse is racing out of rhythm
Like my bones won't stay intact

Don't let it show
Don't let it crack

Pressure lines across my chest
(It's breaking)
Holding in what I suppressed
(Can't take it)
Every second closer to collapse
Pressure lines, and they won't relax

Tension crawling through my spine
Every word a warning sign
Silence screaming in my head
Living louder than what I said

Push it down
Push it deeper
Till the pressure pulls me under

Pressure lines across my chest
(It's breaking)
Everything I never confessed
(No escape now)
If I split beneath the stress
Let it happen
