I feel a strain from many sources
I feel a pull from the wicked forces
Will a day away provide
What I'm searching hard to find?
I fill the niche with a new percussion
Can't settle down the endless buzzing
And suddenly, it keeps me wondering
What I would be without your loving
Would you tell me off if I lied?
Wipe the salty tears from your eyes
Would you believe if I said I tried?
Creeping fears that I can't deny
Would you rail on me for nothing
Or is it something worth discussing?
So hard to contend
With the things that you said
And it keeps me up till morning
♪
I feel the heat of my own hope melting
I feel the pressure slowly mounting
The road is clear but why do I
Feel like a failure at 25?
I can't hold on to something broken
I'm a slave to my own emotions
I'm a child of my generation
But I can already feel it wilting
Would you take your eyes off the prize?
Keep your promise and I'll keep mine
Were you really along for the ride?
Keep it moving and don't think twice
Would you rail on me for nothing
Or is it something worth discussing?
Such subtle emotion
You trick and contort
With a wounded smile
