(Ah-ah, yeah) Pressure on my chest, can’t breathe Everyday’s a war, no peace [Verse 1] Alarm clock screaming at 6 AM, already late Coffee’s cold, inbox full, another deadline waits Boss is texting “ASAP”, phone won’t stop vibrating Rent is due, car needs gas, my bank account’s declining Social media scrolling, everyone living perfect lives While I’m over here pretending I’m fine under the lights Family calling “When you coming home?”, I got no time Friends keep posting trips I can’t afford, I’m losing my mind [Pre-Chorus] Heart racing, hands shaking, mind won’t shut up One more notification and I’m about to erupt [Chorus] This is extreme stress, yeah I’m drowning in it Extreme stress, every second I’m living in it Bills, deadlines, expectations, they never quit Extreme stress, I can’t catch a single breath Extreme stress, pushing me closer to the edge [Verse 2] Meetings stacked back to back, fake smile on my face Traffic jam for forty minutes, I’m stuck in the same place Partner saying “We need to talk”, I already know the tone Therapist waitlist’s three months long, I’m dealing alone Instagram filters hiding the bags under my eyes While the algorithm feeds me more shit that makes me cry Sleep is a luxury I can’t seem to buy Waking up more tired than the night before I died [Pre-Chorus] Heart racing, hands shaking, mind won’t shut up One more notification and I’m about to erupt [Chorus] This is extreme stress, yeah I’m drowning in it Extreme stress, every second I’m living in it Bills, deadlines, expectations, they never quit Extreme stress, I can’t catch a single breath Extreme stress, pushing me closer to the edge [Bridge] I count the reasons why I’m still standing here One – I got people who need me near Two – I’m too stubborn to disappear Three – this pain is temporary, I swear But damn, it feels permanent when it hits this hard [Final Chorus] This is extreme stress, yeah I’m drowning in it Extreme stress, every second I’m living in it Bills, deadlines, expectations, they never quit Extreme stress, I can’t catch a single breath Extreme stress… but I’m still not dead [Outro] (Yeah… still not dead) Extreme stress I’m still fighting through the mess
