Monkey Mind Lyrics

I have been labeled by the people around me

For not acting like the person I claim to be

Cuz there's a monkey in my mind that is set free

And I realize the answer is just

Let me introduce you to the monkey mind

He's currently in control of the systems inside

It's trying to keep me safe but stays petrified

How can you blame him he's a child and he's just assigned

It thinks the world's unkind and safety first 24/7

Home is heaven, there's no question, it's just a big new obsession

Lay flat and contemplate, doing anything feels like regression

It's just an expression- danger, others calling it aggression

But I want to change this, difficult to explain this but my mind's spiraling

They say, we say, you should stop worrying, keep your thoughts from quarrelling

This don't make sense, I'm powerless, monkey mind's been piloting

No time to be deciphering, just run away like lightning

I have been labeled by people around me

For not acting like the person I claim to be

Cuz there's a monkey in my mind that is set free

And I realize the answer is just

Me

Me

The monkey drives the ship's wheel, just trying to get a feel

Figuring out what's real, or is everything extraterrestrial

Worry– puts us into a hamster wheel, completely feeling sealed

Looping it into a horror reel, this experience is purely a horrible ordeal

Pushing the panic button hard, the brain triggers the adrenaline

Already alerted, monkey drumming the heart, gosh I need some medicine

Increasing the breathing, sweating but still I try to remain like a gentleman

Fainting and fogged, thinking of the next, crashing just like gelatin

I just want to feel safe, and can't help but wonder, why me

Who allowed this monkey mind to come around and reign on me

Wait I see he has a key, using which he set himself free

But who could it be? There's no other person here apart from me

I have been labeled by people around me

For not acting like the person I claim to be

Cuz there's a monkey in my mind that is set free

And I realize the answer is just

Me

Me

Me

Me

Me

Me
