Em                                        B
I'm trapped and my back's up against the wall
                          Em
I see no solution or exit out
                                 B
I'm grinding it out, no one can see
                                Em
The pressure's growing exponentially
                                     B
I'm trying to keep up to speed with you
                                  Em
Your lane changing is oscillating me
                                     B
I'm hitting the ground and I'm sprinting
                                  Em
I'm falling behind now I'm tuning out

Chorus:
G            D
Don't push me
G            D
Don't push me
Em                   B
Let me get off the ground
Em                    C
To you I'm no longer bound
G            D
Don't stop me
G             D
Don't choke me
Em                    B
I need you out of my head
Em                      C
You got me close to the edge

I'm feeling the pressure
I can't break out
No one can hear me scream and shout
Get out of my face, out of my mind
I see your corruption
I'm not blind
I'll carry the burden and take the strain
And when I am done I will make you pay
