Happy Thoughts
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Turmoil of 'Happy Thoughts'
Lyrics
In time I'll find
In the future, I will discover
Some peace of mind
Some tranquility or calmness
It's taken over me
An overwhelming emotion has taken control of me
Can't seem to make it bleed
Unable to make the emotion subside
I'll try and try and try and try
I will attempt repeatedly
This knife that I'm holding
The knife I'm holding
Is now dull
Has become blunt or ineffective
Will you put it to my skull
Are you willing to use it on my head
Carve some happy thoughts and all
Carve positive thoughts into my mind
Those things you see
Those things you perceive or understand
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
And push my dreams down
Suppress my aspirations
Cause I
Because I
Can feel the pressure building
Feel the pressure intensifying
It will break right through ceiling
It will break through the barrier
Just remember what they say
Recall what they say
And what they dared instilled in me
And the values they instilled in me
Happy thoughts
Positive and optimistic thoughts
And fade the others out
Diminish or ignore the negative ones
These pills you take are working
The medication you're taking is effective
Why do you have these doubts
Why do you harbor uncertainties or fears
A healthy balanced obsession
A well-maintained and reasonable fixation
With depression feel it pressing
On depression, feeling its influence
And I know it's there
I acknowledge its presence
Don't you tell me that it's not
Don't deny its existence
Sorry I spoke up
Regretful for expressing my thoughts
Sorry I woke up
Regretful for waking up
I won't tell
I will not reveal
So I'm writing you this letter
So I'm communicating through this written message
Please just read it this time
Please take the time to read it
I promise this is real
I assure you this is genuine
I love you I want help
I love you, and I seek assistance
Happy thoughts
Positive and optimistic thoughts
And fade the others out
Diminish or ignore the negative ones
These pills I take aren't working
The medication I took wasn't effective
I finally threw them out
I finally discarded them
I feel it creeping up on me again
I sense it returning
