[Verse 1]
I just need this, to be alright
I can't feel this, another night
I can't take this, I come unglued
I might breakdown, in front of you
Necessary, to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake
[Chorus]
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
[Verse 2]
If you need me, I'll be here
Half unconscious, escape my fear
I can't take this, I come unglued
I might breakdown, in front of you
Necessary, to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake
[Chorus]
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
[Bridge]
My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight am I going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this Valium to slowly kick in
[Chorus]
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
[Chorus]
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
