[Verse 1]
Hold my breath
Till my head hums red
Every second
Like a boot on my chest
I keep laughing
At the wrong damn time
Turn the volume up
Just to drown out my mind
[Chorus]
Under pressure
I’m cracking at the edges
Under pressure
My heartbeat’s learning vengeance
Under pressure
It’s barking in my ribs
Won’t let up
Under pressure
I say I’m fine but I’m fed up
[Verse 2]
Sleep like stone
Dreams grind like gears
Every little thought
Is yelling in my ears
I keep pacing
Round the same old doubts
If I open my mouth
It’ll all spill out (hey!)
[Chorus]
Under pressure
I’m cracking at the edges
Under pressure
My heartbeat’s learning vengeance
Under pressure
It’s barking in my ribs
Won’t let up
Under pressure
I say I’m fine but I’m fed up
[Bridge]
I taste iron on my tongue
Words too sharp to say
If this weight is what I’m made of
Will it crush or will it shape me? (oh)
[Chorus]
Under pressure
I’m cracking at the edges
Under pressure
My heartbeat’s learning vengeance
Under pressure
It’s barking in my ribs
Won’t let up
Under pressure
I say I’m fine but I’m fed up
