Like A Thousand Tons

It sucked you inward before you could consent And wrecked you far more than it seemed A racehorse chasing what it can't comprehend And god forbid it has its dreams The breath is running thin From the tension within It starts to break your core But only strengthens more Like Atlas holds the skies You hold your own demise It's weighing on your back You start to crack I feel like suffocating The pressure's choking me The panic's grip is tight I can't escape, I cannot fight If you succumb to what they carve you to be Your case is lost right from the start Like a blobfish pulled out from the depths of the sea When pressure drops, you fall apart Like Atlas holds the skies You hold your own demise It's weighing on your back You start to crack I feel like suffocating The pressure's choking me The panic's grip is tight I can't escape, I cannot fight The sudden doom's impending But brain's not comprehending Anxiety and fear press Like a thousand tons lying on my chest My lungs are clenched From breathing under pressure Fear's kicking in, panic's in charge Lower your guard and you will be done Pick up the pieces of your own sanity Somebody please set me free Nowhere to hide, nowhere to go Desperate try to regain control A thousand tons on my chest The more I move, the more they press I feel like suffocating The pressure's choking me The panic's grip is tight I can't escape, I cannot fight The sudden doom's impending But brain's not comprehending Anxiety and fear press Like a thousand tons lying on my chest Suffocating Pressure's choking My will to live is put to test With a thousand tons lying on my chest Lying on my chest Your last breath will be consumed by the kiss of death
