Fight the pressure

My demons keep on growing stronger in my darkest of days

Become my ball and chain but still have to find my own way

Headfirst through every wall, sever the ties

Whatever it takes, fighting with mind, words or knife

I can’t change who I am and can’t change how I feel

That’s why I’m clutching my throat I am my own worst enemy

Pull myself together, when I’m around you

For what it’s worth, try not to pull you down, too

In a state of hesitation and doubt

Perpetual purgatory, anxious to find a way out

Try to fight the pressure, come on

It’s always darkest before the dawn

All our heroes have fallen or gone

We need to make it on our own

We all carry our shit, trudging on and on

Wasting our time, until we wake up and see it’s gone

My life is such a mess

Doubt I can turn it around

But there’s no real choice

It’s just swim or sink and drown

So turn it around
