[Verse 1]
lend me a bit of clarity
I’m pacing in this velvet mess
How is this conducive for a good time
when my chest won’t ever rest?
Or even a little piece of mind
I been chasing it down the hall
Every “maybe” at the table
turns my name into a wall
[Pre-Chorus]
You know stress is seductive
it knows my weak spots well
It slips in smiling
and leaves me under its spell
[Chorus]
Stress is seductive
Counter productive
All ways and always
So destructive
(so destructive)
Stress is seductive
Counter productive
All ways and always
So destructive
[Verse 2]
I tried to cool it off with patience
but my thoughts keep cutting in
Same old loop in my bloodstream
same old pull beneath my skin
I don’t need more noise around me
I need room to let it go
Need one honest second
Need a softer undertow
[Pre-Chorus]
You know stress is seductive
it knows my weak spots well
It slips in smiling
and leaves me under its spell
[Chorus]
Stress is seductive
Counter productive
All ways and always
So destructive
(so destructive)
Stress is seductive
Counter productive
All ways and always
So destructive
[Bridge]
If I can name it, I can tame it
if I breathe, it might unwind
I’m not built to live in panic
I’m just trying to clear my mind
(breathe it out)
(breathe it out)
[Final Chorus]
Stress is seductive
Counter productive
All ways and always
So destructive
(so destructive)
Stress is seductive
Counter productive
All ways and always
So destructive
