Pressure

Why don’t you ask me, about the things I did today?

Did I live up to my expectations that I didn’t even make?

The pressure to succeed is growing, it takes my breath

I’m fucking choking on all the promises I made

I’m sorry if you felt dismayed

And if I can't find another key

I'll force myself right to the top you'll see

I find it hard to get up every day

And push through all the obstacles

That the world throws in my face

Am I going colour blind, or what if the world’s turning grey?

My perception on reality is something I could never change

A shadow of a man, unknowing

Catching up to me, not slowing

Down an empty stream, not flowing

Watching all the youth, foregoing

Everything that mattered to me

Another chapter of this story

What if everything you said

Was just another word that I misread

And if I can't find another key

I'll force myself right to the top you'll see

I find it hard to get up every day

And push through all the obstacles

That the world throws in my face

Am I going colour blind, or what if the world’s turning grey?

My perception on reality is something I could never change

And if I look right through you

I’ll see what you saw in me
