Allele – Tightrope

You never ask if I’m ok

The knife in my wrist will take your place

You’re slipping farther away now

I’m starting to break, I can’t take it

The pressure is building inside of me

The tension is taking over

I know that I’m strong enough to see

It’s not about me

I cant believe a word you say

That pressure is taking over

I don’t know how much I can face, with you

I don’t know how much I can take

Despite all the changes you go through

The pressure is building inside of me

The tension is taking over

I know that I’m strong enough to see

It’s not about me

No no no [x4]

You never asked if I’m ok

You never wanted me this way

You never asked if I’m ok

I never meant to be this way

The pressure is building inside of me

The tension is taking over

I know that I’m strong enough to see

It’s not about me

I look in your eyes and you cannot hide

What I’ve come to open up

No words of restriction, just words of conviction

It’s not about me

The pressure [echo] [x4]
