Tonight it was like the pressure From the entire week crescendoed Into a single moment. My emotions have been bottled, My fires have been quenched, But tonight I felt as though All of that careful containment Was going to be undone. I was about to unleash All of that fiery passion, Until a bucket of ice water Was poured onto my head, And fifty pounds of Compressed-emotions were Pumped into my soul. There they will stay Until you take them away.

Compression
Tonight it was like the pressure From the entire week crescendoed Into a single moment. My emotions have been bottled, My fires have been quenched, But tonight I felt as though All of that careful containment Was going to be undone. I was about to unleash All of that fiery passion, Until a bucket of ice water Was poured onto my head, And fifty pounds of Compressed-emotions were Pumped into my soul. There they will stay Until you take them away.
