Pressure - Raleigh Ritchie

I keep thinking I’m in a rush

Maybe I’ve been thinking too much

Maybe I don’t want it enough

It’s way too much pressure

I cope badly when I’m madly, deeply alone

Knee deep in stone

Decent sleep and melatonin

Showing up when I’m not slowing

Down and out is my default

I thrive on, drive on high results

Low gain, Rogaine, balding

No shame, treadmill, Usain

Nobody asks me if I’m okay

And even if they did I would lie and just say

«I'm fine, good vibes, goodbye, good day sir»

The hater inside is the Vader of shade

I’ve never been a go-getter

Who knew being better

Was so much pressure?

I keep thinking I’m in a rush

Maybe I’ve been thinking too much

Maybe I don’t want it enough

I need to get up

Relieve some pressure

I buy shit, like it for two days, then hide it

And I get excited then drop off a cliff

Eyes on the prize

And the prize is a life realising that time’s not a right, it’s a gift

Fuck up, stuck up, speak up or shut up

Champagne socialist, I’m a hypocrite

Melt like butter when other’s suffer

Tell myself it’s all relative

I’ve never been a go-getter

Who knew being better

Was so much pressure?

I keep thinking I’m in a rush

Maybe I’ve been thinking too much

Maybe I don’t want it enough

I need to get up

Relieve some pressure

I’m too hard on myself but not in the right way

It won’t help if I stay in my bed all day

So I should seek real help so I can help myself

And work on that part before someone else

I should be a vegan, stop eating living things

Recycle properly and stop just binning things

Be nice to strangers, dance with my wife

And celebrate, instead of hate, appreciate life

I’ve never been a go-getter

Who knew being better

Was so much pressure?

I keep thinking I’m in a rush

Maybe I’ve been thinking too much

Maybe I don’t want it enough

I need to get up

Relieve some pressure (Pressure)
