The Early November – The Negatives lyrics

[Verse 1]
With every word of my perpetual definition
I’m starting to think with enough time I just might get it
Been through the tolls, got my change and looked back
Swinging were all negative souls
In every step of my combative evolution
The fight of my brain and my gut have been a nuisance
I've given myself enough slack to be secluded
We're all negative souls

[Pre-Chorus]
Practice what you know is wrong
Admit it's hard to grow, when you’re so small

[Chorus]
'Cause you're addicted to feeling sorry for yourself
A needle wove a thread between your body and guilt
You made a blanket of your scars
And you just wanna feel warm
So just admit that you're addicted, it's a reason to fall
'Cause you wanna be the one everybody loves
You feel so sorry for yourself
And all you really want is guilt

[Verse 2]
Every day wake up, feel defeated
Listing your flaws is the church that you believe in
Just give it a break 'cause there's people who are not eating
We're all negative souls
I'm done with the past
Being brakes to my achievements
Cutting the lines, so the fluid runs out of me and
Teaching my body that the negatives can be beaten

[Pre-Chorus]
Practice what you know you want
Admit it's hard to grow when you're so small

[Chorus]
'Cause you're addicted to feeling sorry for yourself
A needle wove a thread between your body and guilt
You made a blanket of your scars
And you just wanna feel warm
So just admit that you're addicted, it's a reason to fall
'Cause you wanna be the one everybody loves
You feel so sorry for yourself
And all you really want is guilt

[Bridge]
It's like quicksand taking you home
(It's like quicksand taking you home)
What a rush I felt to be warm
(What a rush I felt to be warm)
So just admit that you're addicted, it's a reason to fall
(It's like quicksand taking you home)
'Cause you wanna be the one everybody loves
(It's like quicksand taking you home)
So just admit that you're addicted, it's a reason to fall
(What a rush I felt to be warm)
'Cause you wanna be the one everybody loves
(What a rush I felt to be warm)
So just admit that you're addicted, it's a reason to fall
(It's like quicksand taking you home)
'Cause you wanna be the one everybody loves
So just admit that you're addicted, it's a reason to fall
(What a rush I felt to be warm)
And all you really want is guilt

[Outro]
It's like quicksand taking you home
What a rush I felt to be warm
