Whitmer Thomas - Everything That Feels Good Is Bad lyrics

Doomscrolling, lying awake
A dirty dog running free on the interstate
A Blood Mary is a hot wing in a glass
Lit some candles just to piss in the bath
All the best films are about
A man with a vice
Getting stuck in Reno, lying to his wife
Is it intermittent fasting or
An eating disorder?
Do I need all my old birthday
Cards or am I a hoarder?

Everything that feels good is bad
And all the things that make me
Happy make you feel sad

I only buy books for the cool, colorful cover
I like smelling gasoline and getting
Burnt in the summer
Call up your Christian family and reconnect
Find some hallowed ground to disrespect
Cry by the grave of a guy you met once
Text somebody at midnight who you
Ain't seen in months
Remind someone you meet that
You met them before
Keep giving them context until they
Just fake that they remember

Everything that feels good is bad
And all the things that make me
Happy make you feel sad
Just when I think I've gone and got it down
Turns out I'm still the
Same old dumbass clown

You know, you know, you know
You know you gotta overdo it
Double down to power through it
Life's a hot flash, a blood bath
A car crash and your heart's smashed

Have an honest conversation with
An ex about boundaries
Fall asleep in each other's arms watching TV
Lie to your therapist so they like you more
Dig up some repressed memories to endure
Either way

Everything that feels good is bad
And all the things that make me
Happy make you feel sad
Just when I think I've gone and got it down
Turns out I'm still the
Same old dumbass clown

Everything that feels good is bad
And all the things that make me
Happy make you feel sad
Everything that feels good is bad
And all the things that make me
Happy make you feel sad
