Thoughts like dark nightmares come
Overpower mind and soul
Drain away your sense of bravery
Leave you feeling empty and hollowed
And the maggots get inside your head
and the termites chew away in you
and the maggots get inside your brain
and the termites chew away inside at everything

The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah

Out of control in my head
Metaphysical fear lies
Sets in like permanent lines
Temporary sense of peace
And the maggots get inside your head
and the termites chew away in you
and the maggots get inside your brain
and the termites chew away inside at everything

The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah

Crushed alive by all the fear
You can't live with this like I
Paranoid and sensitive
Run and run and hide and hide

The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
The pressure's too much
Under the weight and about to break yeah
