Inner Problem Child

Lookin' to the past, had a blast, gone too fast
Lovin' every moment like it ought to fuckin' last
Yeah, the times are changing, and you're no longer wild
Like there's a problem in there with your inner problem child
But there will come a time when you tap the beat, with your feet
Like you're so alive with a strange feeling to your vibe
And every other day you see the new people that you meet
Tryin' to find their vibe with their inner problem child

We placate our souls for the demons that we hold
Never letting go of the toxic manifolds
Always sabotaging that which we all value most
Belittling our desires and disposing of our hope
But we won't back down without a fight
We wage our wars inside our minds
And though we win the battles, sane thoughts are hard to find
When we're throwing it down for our inner problem child

Now we gettin' to put it down to the vibe life's laying down
We got our own strengths for our thoughts to meet
Conceiving of the divine, crossing that finish line
Utilizing what we can to get our heads in line
And then there comes a time when we tap the beat with our feet
Feelin' so alive like we're flying right through the skies
Gettin' on a roll with the memories that we hold
Never letting go of our inner problem child

And then the night comes, darkness settles in
Deafened by the noise of complete silence
Every single beat to the drum of battle is
Our greatest battles beginning to commence
Creepin' up your spine comes paralysis setting in
Brains closing up and the air is getting thin
Is it cold, or is it just me?
Mind-forged manacles constricting in my sleep

Don't wanna play those fuckin' games
Reality's got me going insane
I can't see shit, no I'm losing all hope
It all feels the same, until one day you choke
I don't wanna play those fuckin' games
Reality's got me going insane
I can't feel shit, no I'm losing all hope
It all feels the same, until one day you choke
