Name: Negative Sick
Duration: P00H04M00S
Description: A song about being frustrated with living in what feels like an increasingly pessimistic world, which can stem from mindlessly sending out negative vibes to the people around you. I felt some of the lyrics getting pretty dark, so I included a 'take three breaths, pivot and push' mantra of mine at the end, to try to balance it out.

about

A song about being frustrated with living in what feels like an increasingly pessimistic world, which can stem from mindlessly sending out negative vibes to the people around you. I felt some of the lyrics getting pretty dark, so I included a 'take three breaths, pivot and push' mantra of mine at the end, to try to balance it out.

lyrics

I could tell you all about
my seventh streak of darkness
but that is a right that belongs to my true friends

yeah I love myself
why am I afraid to say it?
When did self-depreciation get so cool?

I'm just a bit negative sick

Do you ever think about your words?
their heaviness their power
hit post on an impulse -- it's butterflies to hurricanes
do you even know where they go?
In who's mind they circle?
In a swipe end a life, make another person's day

I can't believe the noise
rising thoughts exponential
all smiling at me in unison

I get the left side out
to find the timing's off
some thoughts are meant to grow
some thoughts are meant to die
that's what I learned about peace of mind

I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick

I can't believe the noise
rising thoughts exponential
all smiling at me in unison

I get the left side out
to find the timing's off
some thoughts are meant to grow
some thoughts are meant to die
that's what I learned about peace of mind

I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick, I'm just a bit negative sick

take three breaths, pivot and push
take three breaths, pivot and push
