There was a time I thought
I could take on the world and come out unscarred
But those days are long behind me
As I stand in the midst of war
The sun rises and sets again
And I realize I've done nothing
To contribute, to make anything better
Oh it hurts
The pressure's getting to me, I can't breathe
The water's lifting and I can't swim
Though the sky might be up ahead
It's covered storm clouds
My brain's imploding and I'm losing ground
My mountain's splitting down the center
Though the sky might be up ahead
It's covered by storm clouds
I used to be so full of it
Full of words, full of song
But now my mind is blank, I can't think
I can't even rhyme straight
This may mean nothing to you
But it's destroying my world
I can't see, I've become blind
Oh help me
The pressure's getting to me, I can't breathe
The water's lifting and I can't swim
Though the sky might be up ahead
It's covered storm clouds
My brain's imploding and I'm losing ground
My mountain's splitting down the center
Though the sky might be up ahead
It's covered by storm clouds
There was a time I thought
I could take on the world and come out unscarred
But those days are long behind me
As I stand in the midst of war
The pressure's getting to me, I can't breathe
The water's lifting and I can't swim
Though the sky might be up ahead
It's covered storm clouds
My brain's imploding and I'm losing ground
My mountain's splitting down the center
Though the sky might be up ahead
It's covered by storm clouds
