lyrics

We could pen most precious pulp flush with foamy love
But that would obscure the evolutionary purpose in perseverating on the negative
Hold dear to the most painful things, play them over and over in your mind
Cling to things only devastating, never let them go or leave them behind


Deep down inside there's this twerpy little minor chord
Pitiful, vulnerable and retreating inward
Let it play out, respond how we're conditioned to
It all goes to explain why there's never a song about you


We could express ourselves in miraculous ways and keep it solidly anodyne
But that would ignore what's physiologically at the core of fight or flight
Hold dear to the most painful things, play them over and over in your mind
Cling to things only devastating, never let them go or leave them behind


The amygdala inside, always on guard for a snake
Negativity bias baked into the brain
Play it out, respond how we're conditioned to
It all goes to explain why there's never a song about you

Trust me, you don't want a song about you
