Well I think today is gonna be the day 
Where most everything is gonna go my way 
I flushed my pills right down the drain, I have no clouds around my brain 
I think today is gonna be my day 

So I walk on down the stairs to the lobby 
And plastered to the wall, what do I see? 
Stuck up there are sticky notes adorned with some inspiring quotes 
As if someone had stuck them there for me 

"Be positive, just be yourself, 
You weren't born to be someone else 
Takes less muscles to smile than to frown 
You're perfect just the way you are, an awesome friend, a shining star 
Don't ever let your sadness bring you down" 

Looking at them, I'm unsure of what to say 
But I'll admit these notes have rubbed me the wrong way 
I'm sure that they were well intentioned, but they come off condescending 
That's not what I was looking for today 

Cuz I don't want to see notes upon the door 
Start telling me that I should smile more 
Don't try to discredit my sadness, it may push me into madness 
Or start up my next internal war 

"Be positive, just be yourself  
You weren't born to be someone else" 
Look, it's hard enough to live each day 
Don't tell me what I have to feel, why the hell should I have to deal 
With pushy yellow notes and what they say 

Now I feel my neck is starting to get tense 
Feel my rage is pushing right through common sense 
Now yellow pads talk down to me and instruct me on who to be 
Oh who the hell would fall for that nonsense? 

Now I'm shaking and my face is turning red 
There's an itch that can't be scratched inside my head 
Once sticky notes start condescending, then you know your world is ending 
I wish whoever wrote those notes was dead 

"Be positive, just be yourself" 
Thanks for the tip, now go to Hell 
I'm done engaging with your twisted games 
"You're perfect just the way you are" 
We've never met, but au revoir 
I've got a gun, it's time to spill my brains 
Thank god I've got those sticky notes to blame
