Lyrics

Pressure

[Intro]

I got people talkin' like they know me, but they never did

Haunted by a past, demons takin' up a residence

Hesitant, anyone who love me, I been questioning

Evidence, think I need it, show me where the blessing's been

In the trenches, got a war I'm battling inside (Yeah)

Say you got my back, but man, I'm bleeding on your knife (Yeah)

I've got people shakin' hands that wanna see me die

Stressin', got me sweating, paranoid, I'm up at night (Woo)

[Verse 1]

I know that they're waiting on me to drop

And wanna see me bleed, but I've got evil thoughts

That give deadly threats, I don't get to rest

If I ever do, well, I just get depressed

I've got too much on my plate, wanna run away

Thought I'd make it, but I can't hold the weight

And I'm standin', got one foot in the grave

And I'm 'bout to slip, any fuckin' day

[Pre-Chorus]

I know they'll be happy for me, never

And I'm probably gonna feel like this forever

They said once you make it here, it'll be better

But I used to be so numb, now all I feel is pressure

Pressure, a-a-all I feel is pressure

[Chorus]

When everything I worked for that I love

Goes wrong and weighs down and piles up

Maybe I'll be fucked up forever

Maybe it's just too much pressure

[Verse 2]

This road is so lonely, waves come crashing on me

I don't think you know me

Y'all just talk while I waste away slowly

Yeah, lookin' like, what have I done?

I thought I was dreaming

I was just lettin' down all of the ones that I love (Yeah)

Nothing is ever enough, you need the views, you need the songs

You need to balance the different personas and keep off the drugs

And hold it together, pretend that you're normal

While everyone watching is loading their guns

I can feel the dark consuming, got me 'bout to lose it

When will they see that I'm a fake? I don't know what I'm doing

When you blow up, they don't mention the things around it ruins

On the edge, and now my head is sayin', "Fuckin' do it"

[Pre-Chorus]

I know they'll be happy for me, never

And I'm probably gonna feel like this forever

They keep saying, "You'll be happy when you get here"

I got all that I want, but all I feel is pressure

Pressure, a-a-all I feel is pressure

[Chorus]

When everything I worked for that I love

Goes wrong and weighs down and piles up

Maybe I'll be fucked up forever

Maybe it's just too much pressure

[Outro]

A-a-all I feel is pressure
