Ever feel that overwhelming pressure from life? This song is about being smothered by it but deciding to continue anyways. Check out Zenith for part 2

lyrics

If you see me standing there
with a noose around my neck,
No apologies.
I have seen it crystal clear,
bright as day -
Digesting away

Oh, stop bothering me
You're smothering me
I press a button to see
what it's like to be free
Oh, vibrations are bound
to make me look around
A diagnosis of doubt
making me turn about

I don't care what you say,
There's a long road ahead and I'm going my way
I don't mind, oh half the time
ignorance just feeds the numb and blind

Oh, stop bothering me
You're smothering me
I press a button to see
what it's like to be free
Oh, vibrations are bound
to make me look around
A diagnosis of doubt
making me turn about

Oh you gotta see it my way
Oh yes I'm here to stay
A struggle everyday
You gotta see it my way
You gotta see it my way x4

I look around and all I see are mixtures
Perfect concoctions of inner fixtures
fixing away at what's meant to be locked away
I can't help it if I think too much but yet,
here I am
