Pressure

God I just want to give up

I do not know where I am supposed to be

I’m feeling so lost, feeling so guilty

I am so messed up, and I feel guilty

Cuz I am supposed be be positive

But all I feel buried deep inside is negativity



Pressure is building as I try perfection at it’s best

But it doesn’t seem to be working

And I try my best at winning

But still to no avail, I feel like caving

Weary and worn out

Sickness enters this life

What I would give just to dump all this out

And let someone know what I am all about



What I would do just to hold onto this priceless gem

What I would do not to give in

But I’m having a tough time cuz I am so weak

Come on my mind’s eye keeps on whispering

Stop pretending, and show them who you really are

Come on you know who you really want to be



I’m tired of putting up a charade

Making this life up day to day

Pretending everything is ok

Cuz Christianity says I need to say I’m fine

Even when deep inside I just wish to die

I need to act out how I am totally ok

Well guess what? Screw this cuz I am not ok



Come on let’s get some honesty out on the table

Cuz right now I do not feel like walking this any longer

But God please understand how I feel

I’ll never give you up

Never in this life would I dream of this

But I just want people to know I am not perfect



I’m going to keep striving forth

I’ll play through this pain

But I do not have any clue how

I’ll actually make it through the day

Somehow the crying will cause this to drain

I know that one day I’ll look back

With my wife in my arms

Thinking wow things turned out ok
