Failure Is Unacceptable

We grew up in a place where the shadows were our only companions and all colours were grey

Where our life was a part of a rat race and all nights seemed like day

Because society that we live in, tends to expect

Because if you didn’t study well, you’ll regret

Because what others thinks of you, matters the most

And what you have in your mind, is all just a hoax

We are born to be engineers, doctors, something big from start

No one tends to ask us if the writer, the artist, the actor can go so far?

I guess money is all that matters, your dreams don’t do shit

But tell me, what good quantum physics does, if you can’t remember it

Because our system is not based on knowledge

It is based on how much you can keep in mind

Because you can find an artist in a cubicle

With graffiti at his back of the desk spelling “I HATE MY LIFE”

I get it that we are all part of this rat race

Everyone hopes to win

But try and lose sometime..fear will stop crawling under your skin

‘cause when you lose..you are left with nothing to lose

And you can go and have a fresh start

Do something that you love..Something that might actually take you away from the dark

‘cause this 9-5 routine, it’s sucking the freedom out of our lives

“cause every bird needs his wings and that height out to fly

It scares the shit out of me..that I might fail and be left broken

But at least I tried and didn’t have my words left unspoken
