Stress
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Ah, Why can't you see
What's going on with me
Can't find positivity
Good and evil such a mystery
Ah, jump out your seat
Life gets hectic like a city street
Pay your dues but get a receipt
All victories are bittersweet
Ah, release the tension
Too much weight for me to be benching
Don't know why fists I'm clenching
The road to hell paved with good intention
Stress, when it all builds up,
A mess, when I can't get up,
Confess, that I'm feeling stuck,
Express
Ah, there's too much pressure
Why is everything a stressor?
Don't be second guesser
Wasting time trying to impress her
Ah, will I get the grade
Will I get played, will I get laid
What's it take to make it all fade,
Will I ever find shade?
Ah, get some proof to my mind
Figure out why I'm in this bind
Dig deeper and see what I can find
No stress when I get the kind
Stress, when it all builds up,
A mess, when I can't get up,
Confess, that I'm feeling stuck,
Express
1 for the pleasure, 2 for the pain
3 for the thoughts running through your brain
1 for the pleasure, 2 for the pain
3 for the times when you're going insane 3x
Stress, when it all builds up,
A mess, when I can't get up,
Confess, that I'm feeling stuck,
Express 2x
