Pressure from Niscitam by Blake Scott

I don’t want to be defeatist
but I just can’t get it done
I’m working all the time
I’m a shattered individual

I don’t want to be defeatist
but I just can’t get it done
There is no taming time
I’m a savage individual

Searching every night
Searching for a truth
Digging through this pressure
Sinking in the soup

I don’t want to be defeatist
I don’t want to be defeated
Every day repeat it
My energy deleted

I don’t want to be deleted
but this fire I’ve got to feed it
This fire, burning furnace
I need rest but can not reach it

Oblivion
Ambivalence
Morning affirmations
Traffic, work, bills
Someone change the fucking station

C’mon, change the fucking station

I got pressure... Pressure!

I need to get it sorted
I just can’t get it done
I’m a redlined meter
Brain in eggbeater

I say I’ll get it sorted but
I just can’t get it done
These are crazy crazy times
and I need to find a way to
Explore myself
Involve myself
In myself
Improve myself
Remove myself
Suit myself
Down is steep

I don’t want to be defeatist
I don’t want to be defeated
I don’t want to be deleted
Every day repeated
I don’t want to be defeatist
I will not be deleted
I don’t want to be defeated
My energy deleted

I’ve been drinking every night
Searching for a truth
Swimming in this pressure
Sinking in the soup

Baby, this pressure is a waste of time

I got pressure...
And pressure is a waste of time!
