not in the mood. Lyrics

My future self never listens to me

And I don't take my past self seriously

He's kind of clueless and he makes mistakes

He has no idea where I am today

But while I cringe at myself from 2017

My not-too-distant future self is doing the same to me

And so the goal keeps moving whenever I get close

Carrot on a stick, but at least I grow

So I'll always disappoint

And in a condescending voice

I'll look down on all the choices

My past self went and made

And that's the issue that persists

With being perfectionist

Because perfection don't exist

You can run towards a rainbow, but you'll never find the end

I'm not in the mood to cater to my own attitude

Always trying to improve, but today I'm just not in the mood

I don't know why I set the bar so high

I think I stretched too far and I tore my hide

Tried to eat a whole meal in a single bite

But my stomach is smaller than both of my eyes

But while my body freezes up because I overeat

I have to wonder who the hell I'm even trying to please

And when I realize that it's only future me

I take a big breath and I count to three

Because I'll always disappoint

And in a condescending voice

He'll look down on all my choices

No matter what I do

And that's the issue that persists

With being perfectionist

Because perfection don't exist

You can try, try, try, but it's a never-ending pursuit

I'm not in the mood to cater to my own attitude

Always trying to improve, but today I'm just not in the mood

I said I'm not in the mood to cater to my own attitude

Always trying to improve, but today I'm just not in the mood

Not in the mood
