Pressure

(album: B-Sides & Rarities - 2021)

Hate the way it feels
Hate the way it feels
Living in the real world

I can't stand the pressure
The pressure bearing down on me
I borrowed every penny
Just to buy the things I need
But there's just no stopping
The weight upon the load
I think that I want to let go

I heard the world was ending
Or so they told me on the news
I felt your body trembling
But there's nothing I can do
I'll just keep pretending
That I still have control
I think that I want to let go

Let go, let go
Let's go relieve the pressure
Let go, let go
You know it's now or never

Hate the way it feels
Hate the way it feels (let go, let go)
Living in the real world
Hate the way it feels
Hate the way it feels (let go, let go)
Living in the real world

Now my hands are slipping
And the rope's around my neck
My ECG is skipping
And I'm such a nervous wreck
But there's just no lifting
The weight upon the load
I think that I'm gonna explode

So I started running
Started running from the race
I never saw it coming
But this ain't "The Great Escape"
No one gets away
'Cause there's nowhere left to go
I think that I want to explode

Let go, let go
Let's go relieve the pressure
Let go, let go
You know it's now or never

Hate the way it feels
Hate the way it feels (let go, let go)
Living in the real world
Hate the way it feels
Hate the way it feels (let go, let go)
Living in the real world

I'm like the boy who let go of the wheel
I'm like the girl who said, "Do what you feel"
I'm like the boy who got tied to the wheel
Going round and around and around and around and around

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hate the way it feels
Hate the way it feels
Living in the real world

Run away, run away, gonna run away
Run away, run away, gonna run away
Run away, run away, gonna run away
Gonna run away, gonna run away

Let go, let go (run away, run away, gonna run away)
Let go, let go (run away, run away, gonna run away)
Let go, let go (run away, run away, gonna run away)
Living in the real world (run away, run away, gonna run away)

Hate the way it feels (let go, let go)
Hate the way it feels (let go, let go, let go, let go)
Living in the real world

Let go, let go (la da da da)
Let go, let go (la da da da)
Let go, let go
Living in the real world
