Pressure

I can't see in front of me I feel blind to my sentence my assumed autonomy is all steeped in dependence I'm breaking inside I watch time delimiting but I don't see the answers I know gain's diminishing but I'm wasting my chances I'm breaking inside my head's above the water but I just can't fight the tide till the pressure subsides all you see reflects on me how can it be forever all I do reflects on you now do you feel the pressure with all things permissible I can't stem the pollution and no hand invisible can assure resolution I'm breaking inside my head cries out for stillness but I just can't find the time till the pressure subsides all you see reflects on me how can it be forever all I do reflects on you now do you feel the pressure all I know will come and go you can't have it all together all you ask will come to pass now do you feel the pressure I'm breaking inside my head's above the water but I just can't fight the tide till the pressure subsides all you see reflects on me how can it be forever all I do reflects on you now do you feel the pressure all I know will come and go you can't have it all together all you ask will come to pass now do you feel the pressure

Can we go on? Can we be strong? We've got a system, you're going to use it We call it freedom and you are free to choose it If you're not against it, you've got to be for it Neutral is dangerous, and you cannot ignore it Can we go on forcing our hand? Can we be strong 'til others understand? Can we go on to save our wounded land? Can we be wrong? We've got the money and we're going to spend it Peace is our mission, we'll murder to defend it Sooner or later you'll get the picture We're the creator and you were just created Devastation is where we're heading if we follow this illusion Escalation of all the hurting that is borne of our confusion Unrelenting as we persist in putting everyone beneath us Never ending until we understand our honesty deceives us There is still one truth on which we can depend We've started something we can never end We know although we try to justify the means The truth behind the end remains unseen And while we all assume we all agree We're giving up the freedom to be free Disillusion is always possible, but we've got propaganda Mass confusion is always better than the threat of understanding We'll deceive you, we've got so many ways to make you stand behind us If we need to we'll use them on ourselves to constantly remind us There is just one lie that we can still defend We've started something we can never end We know although we try to justify the means The truth behind the end remains unseen And while we all assume we all agree We're giving up the freedom to be free There is still one truth on which we can depend We've started something we can never end We know although we try to justify the means The truth behind the end remains unseen And while we all assume we all agree We're giving up the freedom to be free The freedom to be free The freedom to be free Can we go on forcing our hand? Can we be strong 'til others understand? Can we go on to save our wounded land? Can we be wrong?

I'm looking for a reason why I see no shooting stars tonight Just a sign that everything's alright to quiet me, to quiet me Maybe all I hoped was wrong, maybe all I dreamed is gone Maybe I was stupid all along for trying it, for trying it But I believed in what you said I trusted in your summer Now the leaves are turning red And soon they'll all be coming down How can I go on If hope is what keeps me alive And I'm so uncertain? It seems the more I look for you, the more I fail to find the truth Maybe I'm affecting what I view with heavy veils and fairy tales Maybe my research was sound, but maybe I just fooled around All flags and footprints, but nothing further down to find you, to find you But I believed in what you said I trusted in your summer Now the leaves are turning red And soon they'll all be coming down How can I go on If hope is what keeps me alive And I'm so uncertain? I guess I learned the hard way or did I waste my time? I never met you half way, but I crossed that line And I believed in what you said I trusted in your summer Now the leaves are turning red And soon they'll all be coming down How can I go on If hope is what keeps me alive? Maybe someday I'll know why
