[Verse 1] Hurry up and wait, they say. Never thought I’d be here today. Took a second just to catch my breath — Still feel the weight in my chest. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Running fast but I’m standing still. Climbing high, stuck on the hill. ⸻ [Chorus] It’s the pressure— pushing down on me. Can’t stop now, even if I can’t breathe. It’s the pressure— living in my skin. I hold it in, but it’s wearing thin. [Chorus] It’ s the pressure— pushing down on me. Can’ t stop now, even if I can’ t breathe. It’ s the pressure— living in my skin. I hold it in, but it’ s wearing thin. [Chorus] It’ s the pressure— pushing down on me. Can’ t stop now, even if I can’ t breathe. It’ s the pressure— living in my skin. I hold it in, but it’ s wearing thin. [Verse 2] Sun comes up, I feel the same. Smiling through a wired brain. Clock hands spin, but nothing moves. Chasing peace I never choose. ⸻ [Bridge] Tell me when it gets easier… or if this is all I’ll know. ’Cause I’ve been holding it together— just afraid to let it show. ⸻ [Chorus 2] It’s the pressure— underneath the calm. A quiet war, wrapped in open palms. It’s the pressure— in the words I hide. You see a smile, but not inside. ⸻ [Chorus 3 – (optional breakdown style)] Pressure. Can’t stop, won’t slow. Pressure. Nowhere to go. Pressure. Still I move. Pressure— What else can I do? [Chorus 2] It’ s the pressure— underneath the calm. A quiet war, wrapped in open palms. It’ s the pressure— in the words I hide. You see a smile, but not inside. ⸻ [Chorus 3 – (optional breakdown style)] Pressure. Can’ t stop, won’ t slow. Pressure. Nowhere to go. Pressure. Still I move. Pressure— What else can I do?
