It's not always easy, keeping my mindset the best,
whenever my mind tells me I'm not passing the test,
I'm having some stress as I think on how I'm doing,
My brain is going "phooey, you're hardly even moving.
You did this wrong and you did that wrong,"
So my mind ping pongs to this strange sing-song
The head-trip of undisciplined thoughts
"I'm caught!" I think even though, no, I'm not
But then I come to my own defense
As I'm sitting there feeling so tense,
It's strange, but this different voice makes more sense,
And I feel something positive commence:
"Jesus, breathe, Chris, don't you believe this!
Don't let egregious lies tear you to pieces!
squawking geese in your ears, just breathe in
As your own master you're barely teethin'
"Just keep crawling, just keep going,
And with time you'll improve your knowing,
The wind keeps blowing, the storm may come,
but don't go numb, even if you feel dumb!
"Hang in there, dude, don't mean to be rude,
But thoughts like that just might get you booed
they ought to be sued, don't let them rule,
It's time to take back control, don't be a fool!"
So I take a moment to meditate
And watch my mind, you know, set it straight,
And got of the merry-go-round ruled by monkeys
I'm no longer willing to be their flunky
"So flunk me, if you will," I respond to their threats
I'm through paying these debts, I have no regrets
I got a focus and a mind of my own,
And I'm not so easily wind-blown, let it be known
I'm in the zone, I'm following my groove,
I'm finding my own move, and that's what's true
And that's what matters, nothing else does,
So good riddance to all the Distorted Thought Fuzz!
