[Verse 1]
Pick your poison, boy
What is left for me?
Plastic bag of joy
Numbing misery
I know there's several ways to get the same effect
But this is the one I use for mental clarity
This is the only one who ever knew the back streets of me
Then found me, picked me up and washed my feet
So what am I to do then?
Wouldn't a bad friend just leave?
No R, no friend, you're a fiend
You spent so long inside the entrance of a dream
Till you're holding onto something to believe in
That's evil to me
How it lifts you up, then drops you by your feet
You've seen everything, but not everything's as it seems, mm
Mm
[Chorus]
The pressure to exist
I still cannot forgive
Forgotten is a myth
'Cause there that memory is
Found my head inside a spliff
Now I don't know where the fuck my body is
The pressure to exist, oh
The pressure to
The pressure to exist
[Post-Chorus]
Mm
Mm
The pressure to exist, mm
Mm
Mm
The pressure to
The pressure to exist
Mm
The pressure to exist
Mm
Mm
The pressure to
The pressure to exist
Mm
[Verse 2]
And I kept my head low because it was weighed down
Like is this a break through or is it a breakdown?
I guess it goes one way and I'm on the way out
Wish someone would say it loud
And if they are, say it louder
I'm in the middle of cry and laughter
They wanna talk and then say it after
Fuck them
Lone wolf don't need a partner
I'm a minder to my own thoughts
In my mind, ah, I'm a father
I'm a danger to my own self
Though they say that I'm the answer
I'm the answer
[Bridge]
Tell me what kinda shit l'm in
Tell me what kinda shit l'm in, mm
Tell me what kinda shit I'm in
Tell me now
[Chorus]
The pressure to exist
I still cannot forgive
Forgotten is a myth
'Cause there that memory is
Found my head inside a spliff
Now I don't know where the fuck my body is
The pressure to exist, oh
The pressure to
The pressure to exist
[Post-Chorus]
Mm
Mm
The pressure to exist, mm
Mm
Mm
The pressure to
The pressure to exist
