My Catharsis
Dan Bull Lyrics

I'll get in my submarine
I will separate myself from the world and its problems.

Set sail to somewhere remote
I will go somewhere far away from civilization.

I'll wait until World War III is over
I will wait for a time when there is no conflict in the world.

Then go and live with the victors and
I will move to a place where there is no suffering or struggle.

Sing
Create something to help you express your emotions.

Sing
Let it be a cathartic experience.

My catharsis
What I create helps me find release from all the stresses in my life.

Look, never again will I put down my pen
I won't stop using writing as a way of coping with stress.

The best method I know to let stuff out my head
It's the most effective way to deal with my thoughts and emotions.

Yes, I'm aware of the notion I must sound a bit dense
I know people may think it's silly to use writing as therapy.

But I'm just letting you know there's nothing round to contend
I'm telling you that it's the best way for me to cope.

When stressed then I focus on jotting down a lament
I turn to writing when I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Introspectively composing what comes out from within
I write about my innermost thoughts and feelings.

Whenever you feel hopeless, down, depressed
When you're feeling low, try writing about it.

I suggest getting a note book out and venting
Writing is a good way to let out your frustrations.

Whether wrecked or sober muck round with the text
It doesn't matter how you write, just do it.

Get depression focused, confront the doubt and dread
Use writing to deal with your negative thoughts and feelings.

Instead of letting them roam or shutting them out your head
Don't ignore your feelings or try to push them away.

Don't ever repress emotions, push them down, pretending
It's not healthy to hide your feelings or pretend they don't exist.

You never noticed them sucking you down to death
Ignoring your emotions can be detrimental to your mental health.

You could suffer a thousand deaths together alone
Suppressing your feelings can be like a slow, painful death.

Getting ever more low 'til you couldn't get up out of bed
It can lead to severe depression that makes it difficult to function.

So yes, my best weapon's prose, and I'll love sound to def
My best tool for coping is writing, and I'll continue to use it.

Sometimes you need to sit and vent your heart
It's important to express your emotions and share how you feel with others.

Even if there's a fair chance some prick'll tear it apart
Even if someone might criticize you, it's still important to express yourself.

But I don't care, it's a farce
I don't care if someone criticizes me for expressing my emotions.

So I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve eager to share it with half
I'm willing to be vulnerable and share my emotions with others.

Of the people that care when I start with my speech
I'll only share it with those who are willing to listen and care about me.

Harp through my teeth
Express my emotions even if it's difficult or painful.

About seemingly meaningless things mithering me
Write about anything that's bothering you, even if it seems trivial.

And I mean it's difficult to say what's really on your brain
It can be hard to express your true thoughts and feelings to others.

Without thinking what friends think of your frame of mind
Without worrying about how others will judge you or your mental state.

cos they might think you're a little bit insane
Because others may not understand or relate to your emotions.

But if you wanna break from the cycle of pain
If you want to improve your mental health and wellbeing.

Then you might wanna change up your mind and its frame
You might need to change your perspective and way of thinking.

You're neither to blame nor liable for saying
You're not responsible for how you feel, but you are responsible for how you handle it.

Any lines on a page that's inscribed with your name
You have the power to write your own story and express your own emotions.

They're right when they say pen's mightier than sword
Words have a powerful impact, more than physical violence.

So remember that fact then write and record
Remember the power of words and use them to your advantage by writing them down.
