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
