Pressure Lyrics by Mark Watt

Planets

2024

[Verse]
Self-inflicted bullet holes
The bubble's burst and I can't control
It needs to be perfect
I need to defend it

Getting closer to the edge
Getting pushed off that cliff
I should've seen it coming
Oh wait, I did

[Chorus]
Pressure
Makes a diamond
That's what they say
But I don't think it's working for me

I'm burnt out
Beat down
Feeling like I need to escape
But I'm scared to just let it be

[Verse]
The months of trying not to fall apart
Eventually would open up these scars
Tear me to pieces
Guess that's my weakness

I felt it building over time
I couldn't be my own lifeline
I didn't listen
I guess I deserve this

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess the lesson's learned
When it's too late (When it's too late)
Maybe I'll listen
Maybe someday

[Chorus]
Pressure
Makes a diamond
That's what they say
But I don't think it's working for me

I'm burnt out
Beat down
Feeling like I need to escape
But I'm scared to just let it be

[Bridge]
As I stand before you
Knowing that I've failed
That the fairy tale I told myself
Has brought me to this hell

I can't believe I tried so hard
To lift up it all
But it wasn't my problem to deal with
Or even my fault
Or even my fault
But it wasn't my problem to deal with
Or even my fault
Or even my fault

[Chorus]
Pressure
Makes a diamond
That's what they say
But I don't think it's working for me

I'm burnt out
Beat down
Feeling like I need to escape
But I'm scared to just let it be

I'm burnt out
Burnt out
Burnt out
I'm burnt out
And I care too much to just let it be

I'm burnt out
Beat down
Feeling like I need to escape
But I'm scared to just let it be
