lyrics

Potion. by Ben Greenwell

Hello mind and welcome home
I'm sure you're going to criticise me now we're all alone
Well I won't take it to heart
I'm not even taking part

You don't need a potion
to dissolve emotion
x2 Negative emotion can't survive in conscious energy
Come and feel the love that's alive in you and me

Show yourself go on and put me down
I'm not sure I want you hanging around
All this self doubt and negativity
Well I'm ashamed to know that you're a part to me

You don't need a potion
to dissolve emotion
x2 Negative emotion can't survive in conscious energy
Come and feel the love that's alive in you and me
