Negative to Postive

Learn to Flip a Negative to a Positive

How can you love yourself when you fill your soul with the opposite?

Poisoned your blood and let it shimmer in the sun

Only for your world to become undone.

Silent, deadly - stained by the demons whose plague ran rampant

Marred the hurt until they dragged you down past the sandpit.

They have it out for you! They want you gone!

But what does it matter when your hearts all wrong?

When you're the worst enemy and best friend

Telling factious lies one minute then the next your begging for mends?

There's no consistency to your love

Focus more on the inside and maybe you'll find your doves

But you'd rather scrape the pain and rewind it over again

Run through these circles till the broken record cuts you down to the drain.

There's nothing to explain when you're caught in the moment

Never cared enough to stay focused when the pain goes unspoken

You're never enough! You need to change! Why can you be normal?

How many shots did you take to drown out your senses

Numb to the world because your heart's in between cold fences

I'd rather be the coldest man in the world

Then the porcelain staircase for dirty feet and littered jewels

Whose beauty forgotten in the search of youth by fools

Who admire the light till their greed transformed it to the netherworld

I'd rather be kind to myself and those I share my time with

Then the wolves who dress like sheep and invade your space

Only to swindle and scheme, letting your love be their case

For why hurting you was justice while your pain became the gift.

You are worthy! You are here for a purpose!

Should it all matter in the grand picture, a theme played at the grand piano

For your eyes only, for your ears only - the life prescribed to you

Can you feel the lyrics meshing in your soul for one more breakthrough

Collapsing barriers and crossing boundaries until you've reached the golden soprano

You need consistency in your heart

Not in the ways you treat others 'til you're none for the kindness of character

Or the ways you view others, claiming yourself as prey to a hungry predator

Consistency in your sense of self, the negative most depart

Have a little faith in yourself for a change! You may be the rainbow you've been missing!

Consistency in your heart must blossom in time

With gentle patience when everything ends in rhyme.
