You are what you tell yourself. You can change what you tell yourself.
NEGATIVENEWSPEAK

Caught myself just now in this hard wiring
Torturing my soul for what has been done
In the moment, I was not realizing
That maybe it was a blessing after all
So many knots within my mind and soul
I've got so much cleanup to do
But with all this negative newspeak
It's no wonder I was still right on cue
Everyone is scrambling all around me
Running so fast just to stay right there
It takes no time to fall back to catastrophe
If you're not now and here, you're going nowhere
CHORUS:
No more negative new speak
Big Brother had me once set in his ways
Just tell myself that it's all working out for me
That is the key to our brighter days
We used to make fun of each other
Our laughter numbed and filled our brains
Every now and then - the joke falls on our brother
As long as you help him up and give him back the reins
If only we can see the program isn't working
Well, it is - but not for our fruitful gain
The divide that is here is against one another
But - don't tell that to the angry mob screaming in vain
BRIDGE:
"There's only so much that you can do"
That line above is only partially true
The moment you stop believing that you aren't worthy
Is the time when you start living you
Don't hesitate for one more moment
The time is running out - your light is needed now
Just feel - don't overthink - and it will come together
Your being you will show you all the steps - you will show you how
No more negative newspeak
No more negative newspeak
No more negative newspeak
No more negative newspeak

"The moment you stop believing that you aren't worthy
Is the time when you start living you" That is perfect. Insightful and inspired. This whole song is is exactly what I have come to realize over the past few years. Excellent work. Cool guitar and wonderful impassioned vocals.

Your voice reminds me of so much great old alternative rock. I love that energy. I also dig the title and the lyrical concept and the epic quality. Good stuff. Happy to hear you're back to making music. It's the best!
