My pint-size problems preoccupy my poor pretentious mind Never room for a friend, I’m consumed, it’s a trend I’m owned by my own fights
I’m in the stadium, conquering the coliseum Unaware that my town and my friends are hurt when I can’t see them
My gladiator mind, gladiator mind is gearing up for a showdown But Godzilla don’t mind, Godzilla don’t mind when he is tearing tokyo down Sizing up their fangs, I’m deciphering their killer code All the while my friends, they are staring down Godzilla’s throat
Picking up my sword off the sandy floor for my glorious story in store, just watch Picking fights with night lions, I’m denying that there’s light in the west hemisphere of my sandbox
My eyes are glued to tiger teeth I’m looking brave but underneath My eyes are shut to everything but The fight in front of me
My gladiator mind, gladiator mind is gearing up for a showdown But Godzilla don’t mind, Godzilla don’t mind when he is tearing tokyo down Sizing up their fangs, I’m deciphering their killer code All the while my friends, they are staring down Godzilla’s throat
I’m picking fights, I’m picking my fights I’m picking friends, I leave them behind You're in need, and I can see you You call to me, but I don't hear you I have an ear that doesn't work right It only hears in my own fights As for my eyes, I'm distracted Enough to leave you in the darkness
