Taught How Every Mistake Ends

Every word a test, every room pressing on the chest. Giving everything and still not being enough. A song about expectations that crush you until you can't hold the place anymore.

Lyrics
Every word felt like a test,
Every room pressed on my chest.
Every look cut straight through me,
Like I was failing silently.
I kept saying I'm alright,
Just to make it through the night.
But the higher that I climbed,
The more I fell behind.
I gave you all I had—
It still was not enough.
The pressure in my head
Turned everything to dust.
Too much weight! Too much weight!
I was never gonna hold that place!
Too much noise! Too much doubt!
I let the pressure drag me down!
Say my name— I fade away!
Every promise broke in the same old shape!
I couldn't stay! I couldn't stay!
I was never gonna survive that weight!
I tried to be what you deserved,
But every chance just made it worse.
Every step into the light
Felt like one more way to die.
You saw someone standing tall,
I was barely there at all.
Smiling through the spiral down,
Trying not to let it show.
The more you counted on me,
The less I felt like myself.
I was a ghost in the room,
At war with everyone else.
Too much weight! Too much weight!
I was never gonna hold that place!
Too much noise! Too much doubt!
I let the pressure drag me down!
Say my name— I fade away!
Every promise broke in the same old shape!
I couldn't stay! I couldn't stay!
I was never gonna survive that weight!
You wanted more—
I had nothing left!
I bit my tongue
Till I choked on it!
I heard the call,
But I lost the nerve!
How do I stay
When I hate what I become under pressure?!
Under pressure!
Break! Break! Break!
Under pressure!
Bend till I break!
Too much weight! Too much weight!
I was never gonna hold that place!
Too much noise! Too much doubt!
I let the pressure drag me down!
Say my name— I fade away!
Left my shadow standing on that stage!
I couldn't stay! I couldn't stay!
So I walked before it buried me!
I wanted to hold the line,
But I was losing myself in it.
So I step away.
No more pretending.
No more pressure wearing my name.
