Welcome to the arcade
What game would you like?
Space invaders, caped crusaders
Having a street fight
You could play air hockey
Or shoot a couple hoops
Maybe win some tickets
If you know how to shoot
The only game that I play
Is sitting over there
In the corner’s where you’ll find
The Whack-a-mole of fears
.
Every time I ever manage
To hit down the things I fear
A thousand more pop up to scare me
They never seem to disappear
Like a Jack inside the box
They pop up when I least expect
I try, but never make them stop
They make me just a nervous wreck
.
I’m in a whack-a-mole brain
Can’t fight back all the pain
It just keeps coming back like a hydra
A whack-a-mole brain
Can’t fight back all the pain
You don’t get it if it’s not inside ya
.
Sick of this arcade I’m living in
But I can’t find my way out
I’ve been down like the dividend
Can’t fight off my failures and doubts
If I finally get it right, then
It’s temporary like a post it
The sun always gives way to night, and
The clear skies give way to the rain
.
I’m in a whack-a-mole brain
Fail again and again
Every time I succeed, I failed somewhere
A whack-a-mole brain
Fail again and again
Riptide just keeps on pulling me under
A whack-a-mole brain
But what pops up is pain
A whack-a-mole brain
.
Can someone please show me the exit?
Or unplug the game at the source?
Because I can’t stop all the heads that
Keep popping up, to pull me off course
