Emit pain without sound
But your mind is raging
Insides are decaying

Tender hearts bust out of chests
Limbs fail when needed most
Call off all your bets
He is winning, he is winning
Forgive me, he is winning

Under pressure you explode
Emotions crashing into walls
Blood spills to the floor
And you can’t bear it anymore

Trashing through the river
Swearing at the sky
Lungs drown with water
Sinking to the bottom
Surely you will die

Under pressure you explode
Emotions crashing into walls
Blood spills to the floor
And you can’t bear it anymore

Under pressure you explode
Emotions crashing into walls
Blood spills to the floor
And you can’t bear it anymore

They’re searching
For the body
They’re searching
For the letter
Final explanation of departure
You thought you could live underwater

Swimming under pressure

Are you ready to break down
Emit pain without sound
But your mind is raging
Insides are decaying

Tender hearts bust out of chests
Limbs fail when needed most
Call off all your bets
He is winning, he is winning
Forgive me, he is winning

Under pressure you explode
Emotions crashing into walls
Blood spills to the floor
And you can’t bear it anymore

Trashing through the river
Swearing at the sky
Lungs drown with water
Sinking to the bottom
Surely you will die

Under pressure you explode
Emotions crashing into walls
Blood spills to the floor
And you can’t bear it anymore

Under pressure you explode
Emotions crashing into walls
Blood spills to the floor
And you can’t bear it anymore

They’re searching
For the body
They’re searching
For the letter
Final explanation of departure
You thought you could live underwater

This piece is a rock song rolled up into a firecracker that goes off in my head. I love the last line:

"...Final explanation of departure
You thought you could live underwater"

Totally out of sequence yet gives this piece much wider scope.

Good Job
