Pressure Cracks Lyrics - Together/apart - Grieves

[Verse 1:] 

I feel like I've been breathing out of an exhaust pipe 

On the job site, with a fist full of brittle sand 

Should have seen it coming 

A mile away from the little hill in which I'm making a stand on 

It makes a man of me (doesn't it?) 

And if it never kills me then I get a pass 

Wish I could've opened up the air around me 

Just a little bit so I could take a gasp 

Who the hell is watching? 

Put a notch in my belt, keep it on the tracks 

Shoulda woulda coulda never made a difference 

When you're playing chicken with your only chance 

But it made a man of me, right? Mad man 

That gotta dance around and play his sounds 

Wish I knew back then what I know now 

Yeah, look at me now! 

[Hook: x2] 

Dodging forever 

Spending a fortune to figure it out 

I don't believe it 

Never learned how 

All of this pressure is driving me wild 

Look at me now 

[Verse 2:] 

I'm starting to feel like it's stacking on my shoulders 

Another soldier with little patience to see the dawn 

Fought a lot of odds, in the name of cause 

Put em in a box buried in the lawn 

But I learned a lesson from it, didn't I? 

And if I didn't who the hell is gonna teach me? 

I've been looking for answers 

And none of em ever offered a lesson that'll reach me 

Who can see me? 

Losing personal relationships like people do they house keys 

I've been outside, looking inside 

With a shadow casted all around me 

And they doubt me 

Try to throw a little part of me away with every frown 

Just wish they saw what I know now 

Yeah, look at me now! 

[Hook: x3] 

Dodging forever 

Spending a fortune to figure it out 

I don't believe it 

Never learned how 

All of this pressure is driving me wild 

Look at me now
