Ever fell suffocated by the pressure of life? This one's for you

lyrics

They say that we've got
Nothing but time to put life behind us
I hope it's not a sign, I really would mind eternity
It's an awful prospect, and I bet you'll find that
you forget that you get
Every single second for the rest of forever
Trying to complete shit that you'll complete never
If you have the rest of time to complete what's on your mind
You'll live on the line and you'll never jump off it
If death has a center why fight it by ourselves
We know that in this world, all the great men fell
So I'll tell you what you have to do together we can make it through
together we can make it through

When you feel like you're trapped in an airless room
Fall through the floor
Until you can't hear it anymore
When you feel like you're paved into the highway
Fall through the ground
Until you escape the traffic sounds

We seem to live for the comforts of life
I say that discomfort puts the meaning it sight
How can you know light if there is no night?
How can you know your wrongs if you've never done right?
Maybe that's why I write these separate words
To hope that together they'll mean something more
It's really just a metaphor, reflected at my very core
I know I've said all this before but it's what's on my mind
I bet that if you look behind your very skin
You'll find the very same thing within
Maybe they're right and maybe I'm insane,
But join me I know that you want to be the same

When you feel like you're trapped in an airless room
Fall through the floor
Until you can't hear it anymore
When you feel like you're paved into the highway
Fall through the ground
Until you escape the traffic sounds

I'm breaking free from my chains today
Or is this escape just temporary
I've been trapped on the floor for so many years
I'll need a little help if I wanna make it out of here
My friends, my family, the strangers on the street
I'll grab onto them and they'll pull me to my feet
If I stumble I know they'll pick me up again
And I hope they know I would do the same thing for them

When you feel like you're trapped in an airless room
Fall through the floor
Until you can't hear it anymore
When you feel like you're paved into the highway
Fall through the ground
Until you escape the traffic sounds
