Verse 1:
I always keep my smile hoping that they never ask
How I'm feelin' keep it sealed like a jar made of glass
I don't wanna be a burden so I let the comments pass
"Yeah, I'm fine; a little tired," too much dirt to unpack
I feel like I'm losing: not really good at life
Not the board game, I'm talkin' 'bout my days and my nights
About the way that I feel like someone turned off the light
Maybe my future was bright now missing Ben Franklin's kite
I need a key to what's so wrong and why I'm filled up with doubt
Never thought of chasing clout kept my head down nearly drowned
From thе negative ideas that my mind would call profound
How I graduatеd early just to never make it out
Chose the college route to please my parents and so I could ball
That diploma gave me nothing 'cept my name on the wall
All I heard was that I need it but I cannot recall
A single job that wanted me based on my grades from the fall

Chorus:
So where do I go?
I've been searchin' for the code
Bouta take off for the stars but the runway must've closed
Take me back to the days where motivation overflowed
All I wanna be is great but I guess I'll never know

So where do I go?
I've been searchin' for the code
Bouta take off for the stars but the runway must've closed
Take me back to the days where motivation overflowed
All I wanna be is great but I guess I'll never know

Verse 2:
A lot of times I don't feel loved and I guess that's alright
When all you have is yourself can't feel sorry gotta fight
Me, myself, and I, keep me company at night
Don't wanna sleep or be awake so should I turn off the light?
Said it once and now again that I'm so ready for Heaven
Life on earth is so depressin' waitin' for a moral lesson
All the clouds inside my head got me achin' for Excedrin
A blessin' or just less than now I question your intentions
If you see the smile take a picture knowing it's rare
Like weather it's a front and no, my mind isn't there
Am I a super deep thinker, is my brain just full of air
Like the tortoise and the hare quickly losing this affair
I get so down on myself and I don't know where to turn
Is all the bad in my life a consequence of what I've earned?
Everbody's got a motive that's a truth that I've learned
The greatest gift received is knowing how to discern

Chorus:
So where do I go?
I've been searchin' for the code
Bouta take off for the stars but the runway must've closed
Take me back to the days where motivation overflowed
All I wanna be is great but I guess I'll never know

So where do I go?
I've been searchin' for the code
Bouta take off for the stars but the runway must've closed
Take me back to the days where motivation overflowed
All I wanna be is great but I guess I'll never know
