lyrics

Standing around, I’m paralyzed
Pressure’s wrecking me inside

At everything I do I always have to be the best
I don’t know how I got like this, but now it’s making me stressed
If I miss a single step, that’s it; I fucking lose
If my work doesn’t measure up, my life’s forever ruined

Standing around, I’m paralyzed
Pressure’s wrecking me inside

Fixated on other people to see how I compare
They look so far ahead of me, and I know I shouldn’t care
My competitive streak has me shackled to the grind
Perfectionism’s driving me out of my mind

Standing around, I’m paralyzed
Pressure’s wrecking me inside

And I know that I’m not merely slow
Got held back in ways out of my control
But I don’t know what the way forward is
And I need to find some clarity with this

Too many choices for the future; I don’t know which to pick
Can’t choose a single direction; the prospect makes me sick
Expecting every option to give me everything
Don't know what I want for myself and what I want just to get ahead

Standing around, trying to decide
Before opportunities pass me by
