The bedroom walls are closing in
Each time I picture how life
Could have been back then
But now I want a brand new start
Hopelessly clamoring to
Feed that dying flame, move away
And take the opportunity to
Stop this slow decay
I saw shade in their colors
(Stifling me)
Overwhelmed and outnumbered
(Take me away)
From the weight and the pressure
(Weight and the pressure)
It keeps pulling me under
And one by one I told them all
The plans I made last night
Without a second thought
But in return, they retaliate
With uninvited lessons
Hoping to persuade me to stay
I'll take the opportunity to
Stop this slow decay
I saw shade in their colors
(Stifling me)
Overwhelmed and outnumbered
(Take me away)
From the weight and the pressure
(Weight and the pressure)
It keeps pulling me under
All these naysayers
Who I thought were my friends
Telling me I'll burn out in half a year
Save your breath for when
You retire
'Cause at least I'm alive
While you might as well be dead
I saw shade in their colors
(Stifling me)
Overwhelmed and outnumbered
(Take me away)
From the weight and the pressure
(Weight and the pressure)
It keeps pulling me under
