[ Your Head Feels Like A Pressurized Pot, Ready To Blow ]
[ When That Will Happen, Nobody Knows ]
[ The Pressure Keeps Building & Building As The Hours
Tick By ]
[ You Don’t Know The When ]
[ & You Have Never Understood The Why ]
[ It Just Started To Build One Morning Once You Opened
Your Eyes ]
[ When It Was So Hot In The Morning, You Could Have Deep
Fried Some Fries ]
[ It Just Feels Like A Pot Ready To Boil Over ]
[ Making You Sweat So Much ]
[ Your Shirt Starts To Give Off An Odor ]
[ Now You Are Becoming Self-Conscious, Of Yourself ]
[ You Do Not Want To Make The Area Around You Unbareable
For Someone Else ]
[ But What Can Settle Your Boiling Head? ]
[ Why Can’t You Think Some Good Thoughts Instead? ]
[ You Try & Try ]
[ Until It Makes, You Cry ]
[ You Begin To Have An Overwhelming Thirst ]
[ You Need Something To Stop The Hurt ]
[ Before Your Head Bursts ]
[ Eventually You Are Able To Lay Your Head Down On Your
Soft Pillow ]
[ & Turn The Pressure Down To Low ]
