The Pressure

Sitting in the dark, they don't understand Expectations rising like I'm made of sand Every word they speak just cuts me down Wearing all their dreams like a heavy crown (Lonely, so lonely) Voices in my head won't leave me be Telling me I'm not what I should be The cracks are showing in my weary face Running out of time, running out of space (Angry now, I'm burning) The pressure, it's breaking me down The pressure, I'm falling to the ground Can't escape it, I'm drowning in their noise The pressure stealing all my voice Shoulders getting tight, can't breathe at all Watching as the walls begin to fall Nothing that I do will ever be enough Life is getting harder, getting way too rough (Stressed and anxious, fading) The cracks are spreading wide There's nowhere left to hide I'm sinking deeper down Wearing this invisible crown The pressure, THE PRESSURE, it won't let go The pressure, THE PRESSURE, dragging me low The pressure, THE PRESSURE, breaking my soul The pressure's taken its toll (Sad, so sad... depressed and alone)
