[English]

I've got a lot of pressure on my mind.

Every noise is a voice telling me to

try. But I'm lost in all my darkness.

And I can't let go. Every day I falter.

Every day I feel the pain. Kneel before

the altar of all this rage. Here's the

truth.

Heat. HEAT.

Why do I still have you on my mind?

And why do I still struggle hard to brea

when I think of what you done to me?

Heat. Heat.

Heat.

HEAT.

Round and round inside my mind. I'm

losing sleep and losing time. But I know

it's going to be all right.

Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

YEAH.

HEAT.

YEAH.

HEAT.

Heat

up

here.

Heat.

HEAT.

NICE.
