Not Allowed to Fail

Verse 1

Wake up to the same goddamn clock

Everyone's watchin' every step I take (they're watchin')

You sleep easy while I carry the weight

Nobody asks if I'm okay (no they don't)

Pre-Chorus

You talk like you know the road I run

But you ain't got nobody leanin' on your back

You ain't got the ceiling pressin' down on your lungs

Chorus

So shut your mouth about my path

You don't live it you don't breathe it

Every single day it's the same goddamn math

If I slip then everybody bleeds it (everybody bleeds)

Post-Chorus

I'm not allowed to lose

I'm not allowed to break

What the hell am I supposed to take

Verse 2

Failure ain't a lesson for me

It's a fire that burns the ones I love (the ones I love)

You get to stumble you get to fall

I get the weight and the blood (carry it)

Pre-Chorus

You talk like you know the road I run

But you ain't got nobody leanin' on your back

You ain't got the ceiling pressin' down on your lungs

Chorus

So shut your mouth about my path

You don't live it you don't breathe it

Every single day it's the same goddamn math

If I slip then everybody bleeds it (everybody bleeds)

Post-Chorus

I'm not allowed to lose

I'm not allowed to break

What the hell am I supposed to take

Bridge

I didn't ask for this crown of nails (didn't ask)

Didn't sign up for every burden on my plate

But "oh well I guess" is all they ever say

So I grit my teeth and I carry it anyway

Chorus

So shut your mouth about my path

You don't live it you don't breathe it

Every single day it's the same goddamn math

If I slip then everybody bleeds it (everybody bleeds)

Post-Chorus

I'm not allowed to lose

I'm not allowed to break

What the hell am I supposed to take

(What the hell am I supposed to take)
