You got so much to prove
hoping they approve
The only thing that's true
is all you ever do is do
You're moving shoe to shoe
but you're not going
You stop growing
the moment that you stay at the top
The only way is to drop
free falling down the stairs
That you climbed up Lined up
to freely mount the air
But you dare not airdrop
tied up like a hair knot
Hiking down without a chance
for stepping on a bare rock

And so you stand still in a stand still
hand still building castles on a stand hill
Man chill is what your friends say
but you're not hearing what little men say
anyway keep on going and taste the stars
keep on growing and raise the bars
you're living life with the A's down to the Z's
after the hill you got a mountain to seize

You are an overachiever
do what it takes till it takes everything you are
you are an overachiever
do what it takes till it takes everything you are

Who can tell your living is an organized hell
the mansion of your mind just an oversized cell
the pressure everything is done to a measure
in the sea of competition sunk like a treasure
like a feather falling slow spiraling to the floor
strung up like a broken violin to your course
opportunity is knocking at your door
but you never left a welcome mat,
it doesn't matter anymore

Or anyhow but you're too late to turn back
fate pushing you into the wall like a thumb tack
ain't no comebacks in this game of life
roll the dice again roll it once never twice

Keep on going and taste the stars
keep on growing and raise the bars
you're living life with the A's down to the Z's
after one drop you got a fountain to seize

You are an overachiever
do what it takes till it takes everything you are
you are an overachiever
do what it takes till it takes everything you are (2x)

You want a break from the world,
but the world wanna break you,
the weight makes your back bone
curl up and make you
