Serious Series

The strongest man in the world, and he's bored, because nothing is a challenge anymore. I understand the emptiness of being great at something that doesn't fill you up.

Woke up, did a hundred push-ups, ran a 10k in the sun
Guess another monster's gonna show up, and the battle's already won
The TV's talking 'bout a "Dragon-level" threat that's in the sky
I'm just trying to remember if it's bargain day for fries
Another Tuesday, same old thing, another city's gonna break
The only thing I'm worried 'bout is the texture of my steak

And I can feel the power thrumming in my fist
Another item's getting crossed right off the list...

And they scream my name, but it's all just noise
I've broken all my favorite toys
This is the pinnacle, the final peak
The strongest man in the world, feeling oh so weak
I'll end it all with just one serious punch
And then go home and figure out what's for lunch

The robo bot's got a tragic past, the alien's got a cause
They're giving me a monologue, and I'm just looking at their flaws
They think the fight is everything, the climax of the show
I'm just trying to make it to the grocery store before they close
The kid is taking notes again, he thinks I've got a trick
The only secret that I have is that I'm bored and tired and sick... of it all

And I can feel the planet shake beneath my feet
Another victory that's bitter-sweet...

But last night... there was a fight
And I got hit. And it felt... alright
And there was a game, a stupid race
A quiet smile on a friendly face
A bowl of udon, a shared good time...
Is this the mountain I was meant to climb?

And they scream my name, but it's all just noise
I'm finding some new favorite toys
This is the pinnacle, the final peak
The strongest man in the world... learning how to speak
To the man in the mirror, after the final punch
Who's just happy that his friends are staying for lunch

Yeah, staying for lunch
The sale is on
We're having hot pot
...Okay
