Under pressure, on my own
Lost all sense of self control
Under pressure, all alone
Was it worth its weight in gold?

I've never felt so cold
A hell I hoped to never know
On my own I lost all control
It tore my body from my soul
This weight is pressing down on me
Any second now I'm fucking crumbling

Tension pushes me to break
Slowly but surely I'm losing my way
Feeding on my will to believe
There's more to life
Than this constant stream of misery

Who am I to blame?
When the pressure is too much to take
Can you sense my shame?
This disease and I are one in the same

Under pressure, on my own
Lost all sense of self control
One step forward
Then ten steps back
This is what it feels like
To slip through the cracks
Under pressure, all alone
Was it worth its weight in gold?
Free me from fear
This is more than anyone should bear

Can't recall feeling this so low
I'm bound for the bottom again
Spent so much time losing peace
Just to be proud of the life I lead
I'd take my last breath, breaking down
And never know just
How it played out
If I'd fade out
Lost in all the clutter of sound

Who am I to blame?
When the pressure is too much to take
Can you feel my shame?
You and I are both one in the same

Under pressure, on my own
Lost all sense of self control
One step forward
Then ten steps back
This is what it feels like
To slip through the cracks
Under pressure, all alone
Was it worth its weight in gold?
Free me from fear
This is more than anyone should bear

Expected to be perfect
Moments away from hitting the ground
The pressure's become too much to take
And now I'm slowly spiraling down

Crushed under the weight of expectation
Suffocating in this endless frustration
Can't breathe, can't see, can't break free
From this overwhelming misery

Under pressure, on my own
Lost all sense of self control
One step forward
Then ten steps back
This is what it feels like
To slip through the cracks
Under pressure, all alone
Was it worth its weight in gold?
Free me from fear
This is more than anyone should bear
