Stranglehold

The pressure defines you
Like some kind of weight
To drag you down
Something to make you
Feel what your life is faced with now

This time no use trying to pretend
This world just brings you back again
Dark fear rising like a scar
Too much too far

If we leave it alone
We'll find a better way
Leave it alone
To fight another day

No critical thinking
To burn individuality
With empathy shrinking
Your miles from where
You wanna be

Hard times doesn't matter
Where you been
This world just leads you back again
Dark fear rising like a scar
Too much too far

The higher you climb
The more angered you grow
Suffering expectation overload

You start waking up
Working hard, breaking down
You start saving but
It's never enough now
A tight stranglehold
Watch my head explode
You start screaming
But it's never enough now

Don't know if I'm dreaming
Who put these thoughts
Inside my head?
Mistakes are forever
I don't want to feel
Like the futures dead

If we leave it alone
We'll find a better way
Leave it alone
To fight another day

You start waking up
Working hard, breaking down
You start saving but
It's never enough now
A tight stranglehold
Watch my head explode
You start screaming
But it's never enough

The truth you seek
Shine the light so you can see
And leave the light on for me
The truth you seek

Needing something more

You start waking up
Working hard, breaking down
You start saving but
It's never enough now
A tight stranglehold
Watch my head explode
You start screaming
But it's never enough
