A Place to Hide

Started getting lost in books
Now I'm trapped by knowing looks
Seems everyone knows who I am
(gimme gimme gimme a solution!)

An open sea, possibility
A trade-up from the pond for me
A big fish aspires to a man
(so gimme gimme gimme evolution!)

College bound
And I'm gonna astound
You've told me all this time

Save me from this self-inflicted future
It's all laid out in front of me
But I just want to run away
Did you ever know what you wanted?
Built a castle so I could flaunt it
At least it's given me a place to hide

Accomplish this, accomplish that
Hope it makes up for the things I lack
I don't think that sounds like a plan
(gimme gimme, gimme a solution!)

Pages turn and I can't turn back
Upsold my skills, and my heart's jet-black
I should be grateful that I can
(with ruthless execution!)

College bound
And I'm gonna astound
No pressure with the climb
No pressure

Save me from this self-inflicted future
It's all laid out in front of me
But I just want to run away
Did you ever know what you wanted?
Built a castle so I could flaunt it
At least it's given me a place to hide

It's not that I want to mindlessly rebel
A friend felt the same way, said his grades put him in hell
Started chasing highs 'cause it wasn't in the script
Went from the Ivy League to the IV drip

I wanna be an icon
So I con everyone I know
I'll keep holding on to show
That I can make it
It's not that hard to fake it

Save me from this self-inflicted future
It's all laid out in front of me
But I just want to run away
Did you ever know what you wanted?
Built a castle so I could flaunt it
At least it's given me a place to

University bound
Breaking outta this town
I'm gonna astound
Cause I'm just so profound
I've left the playground
The familiar sounds
I don't need you around
Please just give me a crown
