[male] [Verse 1] The grass bowed down like it knew We knew, the hoof beats knew The one that chose to ignore the tides of hooves Don't survive the pressure [Pre-Chorus 1] They call it horizon, like it's a gift Horizon just means it never quits You chose to plant your homes No one stands still here The hordes knew There is nowhere to hide [Chorus] Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains The ground don't flinch It just takes your name Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains You call it ruin We call it change [Verse 2] You swore an oath to a brighter future Then it went where the rain was sent Thought you could plant seeds and stone This isn't your lands to settle down This is the land that you move across [Pre-Chorus 2] They call it a dust storm You tried to not breathe me in While I scoured your skin Every inch of you knows my name I tried to hide your illusions of sedentary [Chorus] Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains The ground don't flinch It just takes your name Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains You call it ruin We call it change [Pre-Chorus 3] They call it dry heat, real forgiving Never call it what it does It don't burn you, it just empties Takes the water, leaves the dust Every drop of you belongs to my grass [Chorus] Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains The ground don't flinch It just takes your name Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains You call it ruin We call it change [Pre-Chorus 4] I shortened my days and darkened my skies And you called it a frost Yet in your sleep I made you permanent You are now etched into my name You loved your stones, so now join them [Chorus] Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains The ground don't flinch It just takes your name Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains You call it ruin We call it change [Melodic Intruded] [Bridge] Is it still your land when your roots can't take Seedlings don't take root in my skin Your seed doesn't give you kin Forget the stone you set to home Set a stone to mark your dead [Chorus] Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains The ground don't flinch It just takes your name Pressure on the plains Pressure on the plains You call it ruin We call it change [Outro] The dust settles slow The ones that move knew The winds knew You don't sow We were the grass that held the water We are the dust that takes it back The plains stay without you The plains stay wide The plains stay dry The plains stay
