It's All In Your Head

Your mind is only playing tricks on you
Ultimately, you always do what you want to do
Maybe you wake up late in the morning
Rush through the morning rituals before your boss starts calling
Decide on a whim to skip breakfast
To give you more time for the day's task
But your wife comes in and makes you eat
She says 'You need your strength and I made quite a treat'
You cave and chew for a little bit
Then head out remembering you have clients to meet
Whatever happens at work for the rest of the day
Good or bad, know that she didn't make you stay
Because your mind is only playing tricks on you
Ultimately, you always do what you want to do
Maybe you're in school and your grades are about average
But your parents keep saying your scores are garbage
Just because the neighbor's kid is king of the crop
And the comparison almost makes your heart stop
So that night you plan to break into the principal's office
Get the questions out when no one will notice
Good or bad, whatever happens at the end of that night
Know that your parents didn't cause your plight
Because your mind is only playing tricks on you
Ultimately, you always do what you want to do
Maybe you're dating a calm nice guy
But your friends don't think he's fly
They feel like you should have better taste
And they wanna save you from the time you'd waste
One night you're hanging with the girls at the bar
A young man walks up to your table looking like a star
The rest of the girl all start to get up
At this point you realize its a setup
Ten minutes later he asks if you wanna leave
Glance at your girls knowing what they want to achieve
You tell yourself he's probably harmless
Just one night away from all the calmness
Good or bad, whatever happens after the bar
Know that your friends didn't cause your scar
Because your mind is only playing tricks on you
Ultimately, you always do what you want to do
Advice is only an illusion
The mind can only process information
No matter what another human being ever suggests
The only person that can convince a man, is the man himself.
