lyrics

I was put under the pressure of society and school
To get my life together get a job and be good
I don’t know what I want to be, how can I see
Did you know the answer when you were only 16?
Sometimes I act different cause I don’t want them to know
That the pressure that they put on us is turning me to stone
I know that you don’t see it but I’m insecure too
Sometimes I lie awake at night, scared of what to do.

The pressure that they put on us is way too much
I can see that it’s destroying you it’s no secret
And slowly, slowly, slowly, it’s getting to me
It’s chopping my emotions down like the wood from a tree.
It’s too much pressure.

The more time I spend in that unofficial prison,
The more I get the feeling we aren’t there to learn, only to listen
And then they talk about anxiety and depression,
But maybe it wouldn’t be there if we weren’t under this pressure.

Don’t you know.

The pressure that they put on us is way too much
I can see that it’s destroying you it’s no secret.
And slowly, slowly, slowly, it’s getting to me
It’s chopping my emotions down like the wood from a tree.

Why are we there if it’s not for us,
All this pressure is turning into a cloud of dust.
I can’t see clearly, and I don’t know why,
This dust is in my eyes now I’m starting to cry.

The pressure that they put on us is way too much
I can see that it’s destroying you it’s no secret.
And slowly, slowly, slowly it’s getting to me,
It’s chopping my emotions down like the wood from a tree.
Too much pressure (too much pressure).
Don’t let go.
