I can't handle these pressures

all I can say is this stress hurts

Things are supposed to get better

I just need to put myself first

I'm always trying my hardest

not to pick myself apart This

energy's killin' my vibes now

Sometimes I just wanna to drown out

I wish that shit wasn't so tempting

So all I can do is fill up my cup

And sit here alone hoping no one disrupts

My body's shaking

My head is aching
