Under the Pressure

[Verse 1] In the halls of learning, under fluorescent light, We navigate the maze, with all our might. Books piled high, and deadlines near, The pressure mounts, it's crystal clear. [Verse 2] Tests and grades, they rule the day, In the pursuit of perfection, we lose our way. Sleepless nights, haunted by fears, In the shadow of failure, we drown in tears. [Chorus] Oh, the schoolyard blues, they weigh us down, In a world of pressure, we often drown. Our mental health, a casualty unseen, In the pursuit of success, we've lost our dream. [Verse 3] Teachers preach, "reach for the sky", But beneath the surface, our spirits cry. Masks we wear to hide the pain, But inside, we're shattered, not the same. [Bridge] In the silence of our minds, a storm does brew, As we struggle to find what is true. In the sea of peers, we're lost at sea, In this battle for sanity, we long to be free. [Vers 4] Oh, the weight of expectations, a heavy load, In the halls of academia, our spirits erode. Mental health suffers, unseen and unheard, In the race for success, we're left feeling blurred. [Chorus] Oh, the schoolyard blues, they weigh us down, In a world of pressure, we often drown. Our mental health, a casualty unseen, In the pursuit of success, we've lost our dream. [Outro] As the final bell tolls, and we walk away, Let's remember to breathe, and seize the day. For our worth lies not in grades alone, But in the kindness of heart, and the love we've shown
