I Feel As Though Ive Failed by Nouns Lyrics

[Intro]
"All we need around here is positive people"

[Verse 1]
When I failed out of college a huge weight was lifted from my chest
Through degrees of separation I found that degrees were separating us
Only serving the cause of labeling us most likely to be happy
Society told me how to be
But I find I'm much happier being me

[Verse 2]
I will never define myself or those around me
By the level of education under their belt
Because that's a boring fucking way
To be a worthless spacious machine
A worthless spacious machine
A worthless spacious machine
A worthless spacious machine

[Bridge]
And the guilt at first killed me
Another fuck-up in the family
But the pressure was too much
The pressure, the pressure
[Chorus]
I'm scared of what's ahead
But I'd rather be afraid
Than continue to be dead
I'm scared of what's ahead
But I'd rather be afraid
Than continue to be dead
