Pressure

I light the fuse, ask who struck the match,

Smile real wide, send doubt to dispatch.

I whisper panic, call it a test,

Watch them fracture under the stress.

I don’t need truth, I need the noise,

I don’t need blood, I need the choice.

I don’t make cracks, I watch the spread,

Pressure decides who’s left for dead.

I’m a coin flip spinning out of control,

Feels good not knowing where I’ll go.

No fate, no script, no hand to hold,

When it all tips over, I take control.

No modesty, just apathy, I do what I will,

Bad actor, steady hand, chasing the thrill.

Something’s breaking open, it’s in the air,

I don’t wait for the fall — I’m already there.

Danger stays quiet, I keep it controlled,

Dreams burn clean when pressure takes hold.

Seed the doubt, then ask what’s wrong,

Smile unchanged as it drags on.

I don’t talk loud, I talk precise,

Say it once and it sounds nice.

I read the doubt behind their eyes,

Finish thoughts they won’t verbalize.

They want answers, not the truth,

I give them both in measured proof.

I’m a coin flip spinning out of control,

Feels good not knowing where I’ll go.

No fate, no script, no hand to hold,

When it all tips over, I take control.

No modesty, just apathy, I do what I will,

Bad actor, steady hand, chasing the thrill.

Something’s breaking open, it’s in the air,

I don’t wait for the fall — I’m already there.

Danger stays quiet, I keep it controlled,

Dreams burn clean when pressure takes hold.

Ask who moved the line, I say “it shifted,”

Ask who lit the fire, I say “it drifted.”

Shake the table just to see what stands,

Truth gets slippery in shaking hands.

I don’t start fires, I read the heat,

I know when panic’s ripe to eat.

Awoooooooo

I’m a coin flip spinning out of control,

Feels good not knowing where I’ll go.

No fate, no script, no hand to hold,

When it all tips over, I take control.

No modesty, just apathy, I do what I will,

Bad actor, steady hand, chasing the thrill.

Something’s breaking open, it’s in the air,

I don’t wait for the fall — I’m already there.

Danger stays quiet, I keep it controlled,

Dreams burn clean when pressure takes hold.
