Pressure Lyrics

I felt particularly romantic today

Teenage angst, I was told, would go away

Yet I'm suffocated by an insatiable lust

In this pressure chamber, I'm effortlessly crushed

Living rent free in my mind's chateau

I still view your pictures sent years ago

Remaining meaningless for almost as long

Until the moment that you were gone

Your face, a stark reminder, of past mistakes

A midnight echo of love and heartbreaks

I yearn to cut ties from this endless charade

Yet I'm bound by your memory, lost come break of day

I gave up the moment I could not take

I trust you left for a likewise sake

No fire without the smoke

With this lyric, I aim to provoke

I've come to know, by sharing trauma

That no-one ever cares about your melodrama

Cry me a river for all that I care

Lay upon the world all that you dare

But if you care, please let me know

Internally burning, this status quo

Nevertheless your measure

I'm letting go of all this pressure

Torn by the ghost of who we used to be

I chase the echoes of old memories

Alas, the tears I shed refuse to set me free

Still hoping for solace in each melody

In the end, I'm lost at sea

With yet another love song in minor key
