Fight the pressure My demons keep on growing stronger In my darkest of days Become my ball and chain but still have to find my own way Headfirst through every wall, sever the ties Whatever it takes Fighting with mind, words or knife I can't change who I am and can't change how I feel That's why I'm clutching my throat I am my own worst enemy Pull myself together, when I'm around you For what it's worth, try not to pull you down, too In a state of hesitation and doubt Perpetual purgatory, anxious to find a way out Try to fight the pressure, come on It's always darkest before the dawn All our heroes have fallen or gone We need to fucking make it on our own We all carry our shit, trudging on and on Wasting our time, until we wake up and see it's gone My life is such a mess Doubt I can turn it around But there's no real choice It's just swim or sink and drown So turn it around
