Gremlins in My Head

from Welcome to the Castle by Zalenka

/

lyrics

Coming at me like Jiminy Cricket
Sitting on my shoulders whispering all of the right decisions
Except my own desires' flow just like spigot spouting more sadistic, inglorious life revisions
Where have I stumbled while I walk around with blurry vision?
I thought I made it home sweet home and back to simple living
But this is not my home; this is a dream, a top-secret-undercover-independent-hip-hop mission
Bringing it back to life, zombie status revived and now it’s brought out of remission
Stop assuming that the world is blowing out some kisses
Pleased to announce and pursue vastly spoken word themes and acquired wishes
Doing the dirty work and all the nasty dishes
As I'm watching others fatten up their britches in their made up little niches
The time is now for me to add my own stitches, hoping to make a paycheck for the kids and misses
To me I'm only 27 but for most my life goals will just simply seem dismissive

Where has every body’s conscience gone too?
No matter how I choose to view it, it’s voodoo causing
Gremlins in my head, Gremlins in my head, Gremlins in my head
Choose my own path until my body's dead
Keep my heart like solid gold, as I sink into my bed with
Gremlins in my head, Gremlins in my head, Gremlins in my head

Without even telling me what to do
That little glare has me realizing which path to choose
Letting my heart get the best of me, guiding through and through getting closer on this roller coaster called truth
Breaking up the hesitant right before my eyes into a million shards
Don't let anyone control your life just live it large and deal your own cards
I found that the secret to be successful and to get far
Never stop achieving, and always take charge; cause if it were easy every other person on the planet
Would be reaching up to strip the space of all the stars
It’s been so hard throughout my life to get a handle on these little gremlins lighting candles in my ears
Growing up I always feared the moral crossroads
That I knew I would traverse in later years
To me a perfect game plan, it seems so bland so take the choice away I'll say cheers man

Since you’re up there let’s talk philosophy
And banter and tantrum riddles brain matter
Staggering along with the constant 50/50 clatter
As if Soren himself was here to answer
And throw us out a bone for our teeth to chatter on alone
Disgusted with how far I have not grown
And there's no one else to own up
To the path that I have sown
No whispering of my future were ever known
My perspectives gnarled now and I see my covers blown,
Hide the reason hide my phone
For those stories in my youth they make me proud
So I will shout it out loud
Hoping with some doubt to get a handle on this constant mental bout
Time to grow up for myself and be a better person
Try and ani-morph into the Chris large that no one had ever heard of
Just be yourself man and drop the act man
