[Verse 1: Kae Tempest]
More pressure
More release
More relief
More belief
More distance
More reach
The truth is I don't know
It's so deep
I know nothing
I used to think
Things were so clear
I was so near to nowhere
I could feel everything in me
Pushing for certains
Certains are flimsy
Rock-solid ground beneath me now tells me there's no ground at all
[Chorus 1: Kae Tempest]
More pressure
More release
Your eyes, your cheeks
Your features crease
More desire
Less deceit
Less complex
More complete
Less push
More flow
Please
Let me let go
[Verse 2: Kae Tempest]
Get it all out of you
Let it surprise you
I was in a party
Face mostly eyeballs
Chin deep in a bag of white lies
Saying I'm sick and tired of my own advice
I see it now
So perfect
But so hard to put into practice
One step forward
Two steps backwards
One soul's epiphany's
Another soul's madness
I saw the truth in the curls of the vanishing girl
Hands like cobwebs dangling
Eyes like deep sea dives
She said, stop worrying, man
Stop panicking
Calmer
Clearer
Closer
Nearer
More grounded
More routed
Less convoluted
More stillness
More movement
More existence
Less improvement
More decisions
Less solutions
Less inhibition
Less confusion
More intuition
More connection
More nature
More protection
More abundance
More reflection
Less instruction
More comprehension
[Chorus 2: Kae Tempest]
More pressure
More release
More relief
More belief
More distance
More reach
The truth is I don't know
It's so deep
More pressure
More release
More relief
More belief
Less push
More flow
Please
Let me let go
[Verse 3: Kevin Abstract]
Let me let go
Blast from the past
What's so special?
Ghetto in the universal
Well into the road that you came here for
Look at me, man
I came here past four
Look at the pressure
Look at the souls
Look at the freedom
Look at the clones
Look at my scars
Look at my bones
Look at my folks
More relief
More push
More me
More you
Less news
Understand how to, uh
And you taught me how to, uh
So I came to get true
Travellin' mind
Revellin'
Let you try and rattle them
What's true to you?
What's real?
We still stealing wallets from cars
Sitting on top of your car
We getting lost in the bar
Let 'em know
[Verse 4: Kevin Abstract (Vinyl version only)]
I got my own wave coming up yeah
I feel I just can't get enough yeah
I feel the same feeling ended up yeah
I deal with pain driven 'till I'm upset
I ain't the same ni**a from the sunset
South Texas ain't had enough yet
This a trust fest
Now bring the love in
Now bring the plug in
Now bring the warm in
More drugs and life turning
No curtain still learning
But while we hurtin', the music's still burnin'
More relieve, more push until we certain
[Chorus 2: Kae Tempest]
More pressure
More release
More relief
More belief
More distance
More reach
The truth is I don't know
It's so deep
More pressure
More release
More relief
More belief
Less push
More flow
Please
Let me let go

The Line Is a Curve builds its momentum. It’s like a wave: You build up all of this galvanising spirit of fight, and that’s what enables you to reframe the narrative of the pressures that you’re under. Now you can say, ‘Right, I get it. I’m under all this pressure, but I’m going to use all this pres...
