Wake up clock in same routine
Running like machines in this endless scene
Eyes on the prize but what's the cost?
In the grind all wonder is lost
Where's the spark the hunger to know?
Now it's just numbers in the data flow
We learn the rules but lose the game
Chasing success forgetting the flame
Where did the questions go?
The ones we used to hold so close
We're just gears in the machine
Fading out in the same routine
Lost curiosity buried it deep
Trading dreams for numbers we keep
What happened to wonder what happened to why?
Now it's just goals while the questions die
We're not robots we're meant to feel
But in this race we forgot what's real
Check the boxes tick the lines
Lost in the rhythm wasting time
Learning for titles not for the thrill
Just playing the part ignoring the will
Where's the passion where's the drive?
Now we're just here to survive
We used to wonder we used to seek
Now we're just numbers lost in the beat
Where did the questions go?
The ones we used to hold so close
We're just gears in the machine
Fading out in the same routine
Lost curiosity buried it deep
Trading dreams for numbers we keep
What happened to wonder what happened to why?
Now it's just goals while the questions die
We're not robots we're meant to feel
But in this race we forgot what's real
What if we looked beyond the grind?
Dug up the dreams we left behind?
Success is empty without the spark
We're losing ourselves in the dark
The world's more than targets more than goals
More than the labels we're forced to hold
True growth comes from the hunger inside
Not from the rules we're told to abide
Where did the questions go?
The ones we used to hold so close
We're just gears in the machine
Fading out in the same routine
Lost curiosity buried it deep
Trading dreams for numbers we keep
What happened to wonder what happened to why?
Now it's just goals while the questions die
