Thinking Is Bad For You

from The Blackest of Dogs by Chris Harris

/

lyrics

When I'm on the road
And I'm safe inside my car
That's when I start to think about
What makes us who we are

It's all "black and white"
It's all "us and them"
Everything is personal;
Going way back when
Every day's catastrophe
Tomorrow's harder still
This unhelpful thinking
Is what has made me ill

Why do I do this to myself?
I know that it's hazardous to health

When I'm in my bed
And I wait in vain for sleep
My thoughts have found a rabbit hole
And I've fallen in too deep

Jumping to conclusions
Obsessing on the past
"I must be" and "Should have done"
Are coming thick and fast
Focus on the bad times
Ignoring all that's good
Don't want to make things better
Even though I know I could

Shut the door
Sit down and breathe
And that's the first step taken
Realise
What I believe
Is actually mistaken

Breathe in
Feeling my heart slow
Breathe out
And start to let it go

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
