Pressure Spiral Lyrics - Qanda

I remember when the hours weren't enough, deadlines stacking up 

Like chairs in a bonfire, my judgment running thin 

I didn't know which ones to save or which ones to leave in 

I felt the bigger were my goals, the happier I'd be 

So I trapped myself in Everest-quests, and no one set me free 

Even the boss-man let me do it. You know he had a lot to win 

But he wasn't there to catch me when I tripped and stumbled in 

I fell down to the water 

It was much harder than I ever dreamed 

And so cold it froze the pain away until I woke up and screamed 

I fell down to the water 

It was much harder than I ever dreamed 

And so cold it froze the pain away until I woke up and screamed 

Since the day I left that mountain, I have opted for the coast 

For many years I've wandered, disappearing like a ghost 

What I've found in simple silence is the self I never knew 

But what's good enough for me might not be good enough for you 

I fell down to the water 

It was much harder than I ever dreamed 

And so cold it froze the pain away until I woke up and screamed
