    LYRICS:
    (First Verse)
    I start this off staring at a blank page
    An open office document
    A blinking cursor
    Passing days
    Without a single word
    Some say it's absurd
    Like I float along a stream of words unsaid
    Choosing not to cast my net
    But I spend so long questioning myself
    If this isn't right
    Then does that mean I failed?
    Will my melodies ever live up
    Will my metaphors be profound enough
    Will I ever outdo myself
    The ceiling gets higher and higher
    It's harder and harder to shatter
    And when I fall
    I fall worse than I ever did before
    Evaluating the damage no I just don't understand it
    Conflicted my the very air I breathe
    A love with hatred laced between
    (Pre-Chorus)
    You can see it in my eyes
    A child's spark light up the night
    Constant search for approval
    Suffocated by refusal
    Devouring my skull
    But never feeling full
    (Chorus)
    Oh dear I don't wanna be a burden
    But could you please be a little more concerned with
    The overactive mind of a believer
    The toxic thoughts of an overachiever
    Oh dear if only you could feel it
    The crippling fear of being deserted
    You can't touch the heat of this fever
    The toxic thoughts of an overachiever
    (Second Verse)
    I start this off a little confused
    Writers block doesn't exist
    It's not a word I'm supposed to use
    Because it's all in my mind
    A parasite I'm supposed to find
    But sometimes
    Well most times
    It's so hard to define
    So I pour a couple drinks
    Getting drunk on gasoline
    Fire pulses in my veins
    I'm sick of waiting for the day
    That courage overtakes my brain
    For someone to say it's ok
    I've lived my whole life afraid
    It's time for me to be brave
    To embrace a forest
    That's so dark and unknown
    Because no great adventurer has a paved path to roam
    They pave as they go
    Disappointed faces leaving poisoned bread crumb traces
    I'm not taking the bait
    Let them rot in their place
    (Pre-Chorus)
    I deserve to be alright
    I deserve to sleep at night
    I'm my closest friend
    I remind myself again
    Better treat her well
    Cuz she's with me till the end
    (Chorus)
    Oh dear I don't wanna be a burden
    But could you please be a little more concerned with
    The overactive mind of a believer
    The toxic thoughts of an overachiever
    Oh dear if only you could feel it
    The crippling fear of being deserted
    You can't touch the heat of this fever
    The toxic thoughts of an overachiever
    (Outro)
    Sometimes I forget the feeling
    Of every single nerve tingling
    Better than any lovers’ touch
    I've created tears of pain and burns of lust
    I've created a forest a safe place for myself that others have found
    Some attempt to destroy and others feed the ground
    Fertilize my mind with melodies and rhymes
    A sorcerer of time take you back to the night
    When you pondered your death when somebody left when you lie away broken cause your head is unkept and let me remind you
    That everything is temporary
    You and I are temporary
    And this feeling that's so scary
    Someday you'll realize that thoughts so heavy
    Don't mean you're unsteady
    But that you're only getting ready to say nice to meet you to somebody you never knew
    You

    I think one of the biggest reasons your songs resonate with us is because you perfectly capture the dual nature of what it means to be 'not alright' in the way you write. It's easily explained through words like "I'm not okay", "I'm sad", "I'm afraid"... But it's never enough to show how we really feel. The psychology behind all this shows there's a war going on in all of us, and you've painted such a beautiful picture of it. Thank you Faith.

      Antidote is probably the song ik that I can relate to the most EVERY lyrics in antidote is my story the mirror the " what have I done " part everything and it helped me grow to be a better me because all I ever thought was " I'm not perfect I wish I was then I wouldn't be lonely " but my mother told me no one is perfect she admits she isn't she putt it iwtn a way i could never putt in a drawing with music or anything. And I draw how I feel either it's sad, happy or even insane. But your right it is she is a amazing artist with music and art and knows how to tell people what others may be feeling.

    Your problems *MATTER*
    You *ARE* beautiful
    You *ARE* amazing
    You *WILL* get through this
    You *ARE* stronger then you think
    Let the tears fall now.. but once you wipe them away think to yourself "I *CAN* do this" because you can.
    Everything *WILL* get better someday
    Don't let others put thoughts in your head.
    Don't scar yourself with that blade.
    Don't listen to the voices.
    Don't listen to the people trying to kill your light.
    You will win this. Just give it time.
    In time it'll all be better.
    You are worth everything.
    People do care about you.
    Don't give up.
    Don't let it win.
    Don't let it into your head.
    Don't worry.
    Don't rip yourself apart.
    I promise, if you keep trying, one day everything will be okay..

      Are you still hanging in there? Easy to say things will get better, but besides the many reasons you felt / feel that way, i hope you don't mind this thought: in the universe there probably isn't anyone like you. There may also never be anyone exactly like you, ever. That's profound. Also, even though it may feel as though your loved ones don't care much for you, they are probably battling their own turmoil, and their love is not shining thru. Shine your love on them, and maybe together you can make it to the other side. All the best of my love.

    I saw this ages ago, but how bright the video was made me feel horrible. Even the video with lyrics done by someone was a bit bright for me. Then everything fell apart as I started GCSEs, and my emotional stability dropped to nil. My girlfriend linked me this video and even if I do have to have the cover closed on my phone with my headphones in, it‘s a massive help. The line “I’m sick of waiting for courage to overtake my brain” was a real slap in the face, but it’s got me back on my feet and I’m trying to fix whatever mess I’m in, from test scores dropping as a result of anxiety to me hitting myself in the head. *Thankyou. So much. You really have changed my life.*

    I first listened to this song roundabouts when it came out. I was in secondary school at the time. I was beginning to feel low and some of the lyrics resonated with me. Especially the feeling of having overachieved and set my own bar too high, dealing with everyone’s expectations. I dealt with writers block, both in terms of the stories i tried to create, but also in terms of my life and what i was going to do with it. I didn’t know what should happen next, I felt as though whatever idea I wrote down would be wrong, and that I couldn’t get the next part of my own story right.
    Now I listen to this in my final year of university, and I almost cried when i realised how much more it resonated with me.
    The ceiling has gotten higher and higher. And it’s certainly much harder to shatter than ever before. I don’t like to burden my friends with my concerns , but i want my friends and family to care and to feel valued by them.
    I told myself it’s just in my mind and not an actual problem.
    I drowned my problems afraid to face them, drinking to the point of addiction, and then going further. I destroyed myself for the last year and a half, lost multiple relationships and caused my mental state and studies to suffer greatly.
    I had been hurting myself for 4 at this point, and never said a word to anyone. I didn’t want to burden anyone, i was happy to listen to peoples issues and be there for them, to share their burden, but felt like I had to do it on my own. I thought it was weak for me to break under the strain.
    That was until last year when a friend told me it was okay and I broke down and cried. I told him everything. For the first time in my life I had someone to talk to. Now I am beginning to open up about things and beginning to accept my self more for who I am. I have sought out medical help, and try to be honest with myself instead of lying and pretending everything is ok. As a result, I haven’t hurt myself in over a year now.
    This whole process I’ve realised is as the song says; I am getting ready to meet the real me.
    Honestly i thought I connected strongly to this song before. But now after three years of going my own path, just to come back and find the song mirroring me at every path. It was nearly too much.
    Now every song about feeling depressed want’s to get the message across that we aren’t alone, and that others have shared the same experiences. But this is a first for me, where just by listening to the lyrics, not only can I tell what the writer has gone through, but I feel as though I KNOW what they have gone through. Now of course I don’t know the writer, nor their experiences, but to me it was a powerful moment all the same.
    To anyone struggling, stay strong and please please please find someone you can trust, and you can talk to. People care, they always do. It might save your life, because it saved mine.

      There are some songs of hers (though certainly not all of them) sound better faster. In my opinion, "Dig the Crazy" is a little sluggish, and while the nightcore is a little faster than I would prefer, it's better paced than the original. Furthermore, nightcore songs usually have the song in a different key as a side result of the speedup, giving a new perspective to the song. There are songs that sound better to me in the nightcore's key ("NVM" in Bb minor is something to behold), songs that sound worse to me ("Little Girl" was never meant to be in C major), and songs that, though definitely different, are about equal on my scales (I'll prefer "Antidote" in A or C minor depending on my mood).
      To each man his own, though.

      Exactly. The first time I heard this song was the nightcore addition. I hated it and was hoping for a better song based off the name. Then today, I was shuffling through songs. I came across the original and it’s been on repeat ever since.

    You know...I've been feeling pretty suicidal lately. Came pretty close recently but these songs that you put out just make so much sense. Honestly you just give me hope. And it helps to know that I'm not alone. I love how your music isn't always just about the sad but the overcoming of that sadness that I absolutely love. So thank you..for being in this world and producing such beautifully written lyrics. Thank you for helping me and all the many others who can relate to your lyrics. 💕

    I know this is a little heavy but I just wanted to let you know that you’re amazing. A few years ago I decided to overdose, and before I went to sleep after taking a whole bottle of pills, the last song I wanted to hear was this one. I kept this song on repeat as I fell asleep, I’m not saying your songs drove me to suicide, I’m saying they gave me great comfort In what I thought were my final moments on this earth. And I will never forget how this song made all the pain disappear that night. Thank you and please, keep making beautiful music. :)

    You have nailed this on the head for me. I've been feeling burnt out, really hard in myself and anxious. Not being able to focus at work and not achieving my goals like I want to etc. It's just the toxic thoughts of an over achiever, we need to stop being hard on ourselves. Perfectionism causes anxiety in me

    As someone who is struggling with panic attacks, anxiety, depression, trauma and my sensory processing disorder… this song helps me so much. It makes me feel less alone, that indeed these panic attacks, these scary feelings- it all temporary, and that I will get through it. I may be suffering, feeling hopeless and alone- but I’m still standing. Those who have read this, remember you’re not helpless or hopeless, you may be suffering and it may be hell for you, but you can get through this, all of this is temporary. This is all temporary no matter how many years you’ve been suffering, because you’re still standing and the fact that you’re still standing will pay off, remember to love yourself. I know saying things like “love yourself” is easier said than done, I get it I’m still working on that. What’s helped me start it in the first place though, is just talking to myself and getting to know me and saying positive things. I know this is all over the place, but I wanna let everyone here know that I love them and I care.

    Underachiever, Overachiever, regardless of if you manage to make a noticeable success, the effort was worth it and still is.
    You'll learn, you'll grow, and you'll take steps at a time as moments pass by.
    So even if you don't think you're much, please, please be your own best friend when things hurt.

    Your songs are so inspiring and amazing and relatable. I first heard Antidote and right before watching this one I listened to Little Girl and can I just say, I’ve never related to a song so much before in my life. I felt like I was singing all my locked up feelings and thoughts. These songs really help me on nights when I can feel myself just drifting away and letting go, where I’m losing myself. So for that, I say thank you for making these ♥️

    That hits hard. I know I come with a lot of drama and problems and I don’t wanna push that onto someone. But at the same time I don’t have any close friends. It’s hard to form connections and I need so much more than someone asking if I’m okay. I need someone who’s willing to get to know me and actually desires my company.

    I am amazed. For the first time a song has touched my heart so deep. I can relate. I am looking forward to the day I can say 'Nice to meet you' to, me. I have created my own personal place as well, but someone always digs their way through. But, you just have to stay strong and fight it. You know you're better, you're strong, don't let things take you down. I have been treated like nothing, but I know I am something.
    So people who are struggling, take a deep breath. Look at yourself in the mirror. And say, 'I am beautiful, I am strong, I am wonderful. I am me, and that's all I wanna be.'
    Don't let anyone bring you down. Pull yourself high above them. You can light up darkness in just a second.
