[Verse 1] ... chasing happiness Why not make it chase after us? We bank on bliss being answered with our accomplishments But when passion brings disasters in your realm, it concocts distress You lose your path, rue your wrath, and wonder why you're so sour When you've just had proved your value and finally you're in power You thought you fended all your headaches off and settled on a better spot But then you comprehend it's not heaven Stop overthinking the obvious and accept that happiness is psychological You can purchase box of jewels, burn up lots of fuel in order to fix every obstacle And still flounder till doubts wax with your countenance downcast Unable to determine what the mountain you climbed masked as you drown in a time lapse How do you bounce back from a defeat you considered a victory, but didn't admit it wasn't the win that your spirit coveted And stubbornly resisted your inner wishes, convinced by extrinsic influence this is what you really wanted? But why tether instinct and restrict your desires to impress outsiders With no ostensible signs of the stress downsized, just a stretched out silence Is it possible to emulate the feeling of happiness when you think you're not? Are the physical surroundings and the internal sensation interlocked? Tangible achievements help your perception, but it's misleading to believe They are the primary explanation for why you feel the way you feel Imagination is underestimated in pursuit of joy Experiences shaping you destroyed the ingenuity that made you a boy A child's eyes see beyond the line of sight, which is why their lives are a guiding light To what a mind behind a perfect life is like [Chorus] If my own thoughts bring me delight Despite the looming meteorite My happiness lives in my soul Even if I just drained the hemlock bowl If my own thoughts bring me delight Despite the looming meteorite My happiness will not flee my soul Even if I just drained the hemlock bowl [Verse 2] If you're forsaken in the dregs of the earth Your living conditions and connections with people develop from better to worse Age is catching up with you, and the mirage of your success is a blur Use your fantasy to fuse a tapestry of a new reality for you and set up your world Yes, you deceive yourself, but see, what you sense is real If it sends you chills, you can't reject what you feel, no matter how well concealed You should welcome sealed imperceptible dimension getting itself unsealed Pulling your self-conceived electric dreams in a magnetic field The power of psychology works, it's astounding what positive words Can amount to as the odds are reversed having found the resolve that you searched The truth won't matter cause the only truth is perception And if you learn to control it, you'll overcome anything that moves your direction [Chorus]
