Pressure
Will someone be my stomach
So I don’t have to eat
Will someone be my eyes
So I don’t have to see
Will someone be my mind
So I don’t have to think
Will someone be my ears
So I don’t have to hear
Will someone be my smile
So I don’t have to laugh
Will someone be my heart
So I don’t have to feel
Will someone be my nose
So I don’t have to smell
Will someone be my voice
So I don’t have to speak
Will someone be my arms
So I don’t have to hug
Can someone, anyone, be my everything
So I can have a well deserved rest
I’m close to giving up
My legs are dangling off the edge
Just a few more inches
And I’ll be gone
I’m being pushed to my limit
Can’t cope for another single minute
I’ve got nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
Pressures coming at me from all sides
So I don’t have to eat
Will someone be my eyes
So I don’t have to see
Will someone be my mind
So I don’t have to think
Will someone be my ears
So I don’t have to hear
Will someone be my smile
So I don’t have to laugh
Will someone be my heart
So I don’t have to feel
Will someone be my nose
So I don’t have to smell
Will someone be my voice
So I don’t have to speak
Will someone be my arms
So I don’t have to hug
Can someone, anyone, be my everything
So I can have a well deserved rest
I’m close to giving up
My legs are dangling off the edge
Just a few more inches
And I’ll be gone
I’m being pushed to my limit
Can’t cope for another single minute
I’ve got nowhere to run
And nowhere to hide
Pressures coming at me from all sides
