lyrics

[Gotenks voice line from Dragon Ball FighterZ]
Ha! This won't go the same way it did last time...

I don't know if what I'm doing is ri- (x4)
(Discipline your hindbrain- Listen, shut up!)
(Discipline your hindbrain- Just shut up about it! Because-)

I don't know if what I'm doing is right
I feel my feet touch the floor but my mind takes flight
and far my periphery a dim room taunts me
It haunts me

I'm running like a vagrant but my path's gone aloft
While stars drift enough apart to give way to muddy clouds
That obscure the shot I'm trying to get
Showing scenery I shouldn't resent

Still soaring and floating, they differ not much
When the destination is yet another pool
You gotta touch down and brave the sea to swim through
It's not enough to tie a noose and question if you'll ever move

Not enough to simply let that shrapnel fill my head
With the kinda shit I wish I would've said while
Every missed moment rains down from a cloud
Made up of everything I know I could've been

I don't know if what I'm doing is ri- (x4)
(Discipline your hindbrain- Listen, shut up!)
(Discipline your hindbrain- Just shut up about it! Because-)

[Terence McKenna lecture plays]

Wish I would've said
Is right
Mind takes flight
Dim room taunts me
While I still do
(x3)

So now I notice that years have gone by but never
Stacked up to the perfect image that I kept inside
Still the sum of all the parts of each and every place I stayed in
Paint a picture of that state of mind I am so often cravin'

While the shadow of my doubt undoubtedly returns
It's all old news, yeah man I heard it before
All the talk he got don't catch my eye anymore
So I drop my gaze until I see deep beneath the floorboards

Still never satisfied when things do click
I got a beat I think could work but haven't touched it in a minute
It just falls to the dirt never knowing if it's finished
While I do not pay no mind I'm kinda banking off its presence

For so long I sit and stare, mind wanders
Wait for burst of inspiration that'll take me further
Talking to myself, I clear my throat to clearly state
One day I'll work so hard I'll die just standing in the same-

I don't know if what I'm doing is ri- (x4)
(Discipline your hindbrain- Listen, shut up!)
(Discipline your hindbrain- Just shut up about it! Because-)
