The Pressure Crack

Drop

Promise me

Don't turn around

Verse 1

Six AM clock ticks on the nightstand

I am awake

Because you exist in the room across the hall

Sunrise sinking slow through the window slats

You give me air when the water rises up

Pre-Chorus

Stay right here

Please stay right here

Just stay right here

Chorus

Don't you turn and stab my back

No more tricks no more traps

I need you

I need you

Hold me down until I snap

Watch the pressure start to crack

I need you

I need you

Drop

Don't you turn and stab my back

I need you

Verse 2

Staggering stumbling stalling out at the stoplight

Lung capacity failing

I can't live without the pulse you provide

If you walk out the front door the walls cave in

Total devastation waiting behind the latch

Pre-Chorus

Promise me

Promise me

Please promise me

Chorus

Don't you turn and stab my back

No more tricks no more traps

I need you

I need you

Hold me down until I snap

Watch the pressure start to crack

I need you

I need you

Bridge

Cut the cable

Cut the chord

Cut the noise

Every morning starts because you breathe

Don't you leave me sitting in the wreckage

I'll bleed out on the carpet

I'll lose my grip on reality

Stay

Stay

Stay

Chorus

Don't you turn and stab my back

No more tricks no more traps

I need you

I need you

Hold me down until I snap

Watch the pressure start to crack

I need you

I need you

Drop

Hold me down

I need you

Promise me
