Pressure rising The mirror never lies Eyes locked on the ceiling, counting every flaw Standards cut deeper than any law Running nonstop, no finish line Every win feels late, every loss feels mine Smiles rehearsed, cracks in disguise Applause sounds empty, silence replies Chasing perfection, losing sleep Promises carved too deep to keep Every step judged, every breath scored Living life like an endless board If enough is never enough Why does letting go feel rough? No mercy from the mirror staring back Every word hits hard, every thought attacks Built this cage, locked it tight Fighting shadows every night No mercy, pressure won't ease Self-made scars, invisible seams Trying to win an unwinnable fight Against the voice that says Push not right Push not right Push, break, repeat Fall, rise, bleed Clock ticks loud, patience thin Every flaw magnified within Standards stacked like loaded weights One misstep feeds the hate Hunger grows, but nothing fills Grinding gears, ignoring chills Running faster, still behind Built an enemy in the mind If the noise would finally slow Maybe peace would start to show Under armor, under pride Still a heart trying to survive No mercy from the mirror staring back Pressure piles, the spine might crack Still standing, still alive Refusing just to barely survive Push not right Push not right No mercy, but breaking through Learning what strength really means to do Not perfect, not erased Still breathing in this space Silence, silence, silence Push rising Push rising Push rising Silence
