Mood Poisoning

Verse 1

I woke up with a cloud in my chest

Coffee brewed but I’m still a mess

The sun’s out there, doing its best

But I’m staying home today

Verse 2

My smile’s on strike, my heart’s gone gray

Even my cat gave me side-eye shade

I’d call a friend, but what would I say?

“I think I’ve got mood poisoning”

Chorus

Mood poisoning, it’s a silent sting

No fever, no rash, but it dulls everything

I’m not contagious, just quietly blue

So I’m staying home, not coming through

Verse 3

The dishes can wait, the world can spin

I’ll wrap myself in a blanket of sin

Eat cereal straight from the box again

And hum my melancholy tune

Bridge

Some days you just don’t bounce

You sink like stones that don’t announce

But healing hides in quiet ground

Where no one needs to come around

Final Chorus

Mood poisoning, it’s a tender ache

No drama, no tears, just a soul that breaks

I’ll mend in silence, I’ll mend in grace

I’m staying home today, giving myself space
