I'm trapped and my back's up against the wall I see no solution or exit out I'm grinding it out, no one can see The pressure's growing exponentially I'm trying to keep up to speed with you Your lane changing is oscillating me I'm hitting the ground and I'm sprinting I'm falling behind now I'm tuning out Pressure building Pressure building Pressure building Don't push me Don't push me Let me get off the ground To you I'm no longer bound Don't stop me, don't choke me I need you out of my head You got me close to the edge I'm feeling the pressure I can't break out No one can hear me scream and shout Get out of my face, out of my mind I see your corruption I'm not blind I'll carry the burden and take the strain And when I am done I will make you pay Pressure building Pressure building Pressure building Don't push me Don't push me Let me get off the ground To you I'm no longer bound Don't curb me Don't thwart me I need you out of my head You got me close to the edge Pressure building Pressure building Don't push me Don't push me Let me get off the ground To you I'm no longer bound Don't stop me Don't block me I need you out of my head You got me close to the edge Pressure building Pressure building
