Pressure Valve

Lyrics

Intro
Tick
Tick
Pressure in the wall
Cold hands on the bolt
Something's breathing here
Shh...

Verse 1
I feel the floor give way
Under my heavy skin
Bolts in my throat like teeth
Grinding from deep within
You left me by the hinge
Now I don't open right
Every little scar I wear
Glows in the machine light

Pre-Chorus
Push
Push
Hear that metal cry
Push
Push
Till the seams go white
My name gets cut
My voice gets thin
I can feel the lock
Turning in

Chorus
Under pressure
Under pressure
I don't bend, I break
Under pressure
Under pressure
Watch the whole frame shake
(Under pressure)
(Under pressure)
I come back wrong
(Under pressure)
(Under pressure)
Still moving on

Verse 2
I got a code on my tongue
Stuck like a rusted nail
Every time you ask for more
My nerves go pale
Black smoke in the mirror
Faces in the glass
I hear the gears say mine
As the seconds pass

Pre-Chorus
Push
Push
Hear that metal cry
Push
Push
Till the seams go white
My name gets cut
My voice gets thin
I can feel the lock
Turning in

Chorus
Under pressure
Under pressure
I don't bend, I break
Under pressure
Under pressure
Watch the whole frame shake
(Under pressure)
(Under pressure)
I come back wrong
(Under pressure)
(Under pressure)
Still moving on

Bridge
Now the room goes cold
No pulse, no prayer
Just a red-eye glow
In the static air
Speak in wires
Speak in grime
Split my face
One more time

Breakdown
Crush
Crush
Crush the frame
Hush
Hush
Call my name
Tear
Tear
Through the shell
I know this shape
Too well

Verse 3
I walk through the sparks again
With a bent-back spine
Every step makes a new alarm
In the bones of time
If you pull too hard
You'll hear the scream
A human sound
From a steel machine

Chorus
Under pressure
Under pressure
I don't bend, I break
Under pressure
Under pressure
Watch the whole frame shake
(Under pressure)
(Under pressure)
I come back wrong
(Under pressure)
(Under pressure)
Still moving on

Outro
Tick
Tick
Pressure in the wall
Cold hands on the bolt
Shh...
