Bad Thing (feat. Natanya) 05:18
lyrics
buy track
i realize now that your words were only meant to harm and drain any semblance of stability for simply needing help but you claim i am a burden to go to my friends for help you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that? we both know that this is an attack i will no longer play the problem of an issue you create of an issue you create, whoa oh tell me old friend, when you face me why are you so scared of change? solace may be hard to find when your feelings form an ocean dont know how you could say to never show emotion you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that? we both know that this is an attack i will no longer play the problem of an issue you create dont talk behind my back as if i dont know your plan im sick and tired of taking blame a verbal punching bag of shame dont talk behind my back say a word i might attack im stronger than you think i am you say i couldnt, i say i can to be the happiest ive felt, to finally cross the bend to be worthy of a lover or another real friend to be comfortable, be bittersweet, anything my heart could see you say it all as if its a bad thing, all as if its a bad thing! <solo> you say that as if its a bad thing! </solo> you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that? we both know that this is an attack well im tired of playing the problem and you say that as if its a bad thing why is that? (dont talk behind my back) we both know that this is an attack (say a word i might attack) well im tired of playing the problem (im stronger than you think i am) and you say that as if its a bad thing (you say i couldnt, i say i can) you say that as if its a bad thing you say that as if its a bad thing

un otoño roto llega y yo soy una hoja igual a la primavera pasada salvo que estoy más cómoda te mostré mi vulnerabilidad y robaste mi claridad decir que fue doloroso es quedarse corto bum, bum, bum bum, bum, bum bum, bum, boh oh whoa oh <solo> </solo> un otoño roto llega y yo soy una piedra es un comienzo nuevo para un invierno cálido había una cuestión que no se contestaría una que todos saben pero de cual no hablarían siempre dijiste es hora de irse fue un problema desde que se habló había una cuestión que no se contestaría una que todos saben pero de cual no hablarían siempre dijiste es hora de irse fue un problema desde que se habló oh (ooh, ooh) oh, oh (ooh, ooh) oh, oh, oh

okay! so i really just wanted to talk about a lot of interesting things that have been going on recently i feel more content than ive ever been i have some more empathy, i have some more friends im learning how to set boundaries blockin people off, blockin toxicity and finally, im all around and finally, i feel mentally sound, right now and- you know- god damn, do i feel pretty! and im not even just sayin that to avoid someone yellin at me and i mean that in a good way how sometimes your friends are lookin out for you and they really stop at nothin to make sure that you feel content in your own skin and even moreso than that, to make sure that everythings okay within and, i havent had any truly- you know- icky thoughts in years and the fact im still arounds got me startin up in tears and there were times when i was younger and i know im not alone- when i felt like i would not live past age x and i assure you, you are not alone sometimes the hardest places to imagine being are where you feel at home cause- you know- i was able to do it! and, holy fuck, i know youre capable too and sometimes, one pep ta- talks not enough, i understand but so many people would do it for you and so many who recognize your worth and your potential just the way that others were able to do for me and they allowed me to slowly get healthier where i could help others who were hurting, you know? and its like- its not in that way where youre havin to grow up always havin to help others, despite bein younger- i remember! you feel obligated to always be better! but when you let your walls down and let others help you out you can improve so much faster than if you had tried to figure it out on- on your own, y'know? and there were times when it wasnt always this right i had papers piled up, memories that i didnt need physically and there were times when i feel alright life felt surreal, but only so, cause it felt so, perfect, y'know? <solo> </solo>

and a special thanks to espacio aura yoga for their review video on the meinl galaxy, which set me off to find somebody who actually owned one to perform the part (thanks, romain!).

at the end of the day, for such a long and arduous project, i am so happy and proud of myself for not only the music being done, but for where i've grown as a person - i'm so grateful to everybody who's seen me grow up throughout the years, and i want to make it known that i love and appreciate you all <3 ill catch you all later!!~
