Negative self talk
A veteran, self taught
Etcetera, on and on
Sick of hearing my 
Self Talk  

The long walk between the car and the house
I just sit behind the wheel 
‘Til the battery runs out
Home is where we were loud
Used to sing down the hall
To your signature sound
Now it’s just so quiet
I hate this gorgeous house 
Can hear my heart beat
Over emptiness now 
Chorus of my worst thoughts
Drawing curtains shut
As hope takes a bow 
Now all I hear is 

Negative self talk

A veteran, self taught

Etcetera, on and on

Sick of hearing my 

Self Talk  

I write like a volcano, projectile spewing out
Quiet mind’s a loaded canon
Who’s it aimed at now? 
And the tip of my tongue, tip of the iceberg
Turn titanic around
Let me thaw out

Cause all I hear is 

Negative Self Talk

A veteran, self taught

Etcetera, on and on

Sick of hearing my 

Self talk  

Sung over the bones of you and i 
Words spun into daisy wheels in my mind
I am Vasalisa, guide me through the night
Nothing more will enter me but light
And i wont hear it

Negative Self Talk

A veteran, self taught

Etcetera, on and on

Sick of hearing my 

Self talk
