Blank pages, caffeine, and late nights Running circles in your own mind Invisible and you don't feel right Wishing they could see straight through to you Maybe the stars will all collide But they're losing light from 9 to 5 Chasin' gold, but where's the silver line? Wishin' you were still twenty-two Gotta get away right now Gotta find a way somehow To not let anybody hold you down Wish I knew then what I know now I'm tired of feeling lost inside This pressure's eating me alive Gotta find a way to free myself now Your voice is getting too loud This pressure's eating me alive Head filled with big dreams and city lights But your mind is always preoccupied Easy saying that you're alright It's anything and everything but true You feel like dying on the inside Chasing demons to get a rise Why do we tell ourselves lies? The ones that we could never live up to I'm tired of feeling lost inside This pressure's eating me alive Gotta find a way to free myself now Your voice is getting too loud This pressure's eating me alive I've been tested and beat down And pushed to the brink And my God, they waged all their wars on me But I pulled myself up Right out of the ruins And I will build this empire, but I'm only human Embrace the pressure It's screaming out your name Embrace the pressure When it hits you like a tidal wave I'm tired of feeling lost inside This pressure's eating me alive Gotta find a way to free myself now Your voice is getting too loud This pressure's eating me alive I'm tired of feeling lost inside This pressure's eating me alive Gotta find a way to free myself now Your voice is getting too loud This pressure's eating me alive It's eating me alive
