Lyrics

When the world just feels like it's all too real
And I can't face the other side
Time feels so alone, standing still
I hold my breath and close my eyes
They say pressure makes diamonds
Drown out noise with silence
This atmosphere's so violent
The pressure makes diamonds
I can't handle this
Just holding back these tears
This atmosphere's so violent
The pressure makes diamonds
I can't handle this
Just holding back these tears (holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
When the world just feels like it's all too real
And I can't face the other side
Time feels so alone, standing still
I hold my breath and close my eyes
They say pressure makes diamonds
Drown out noise with silence
This atmosphere's so violent
The pressure makes diamonds
I can't handle this
Just holding back these tears
This atmosphere's so violent
The pressure makes diamonds
I can't handle this
Just holding back these tears (holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
(Holding back these tears)
