[Verse 1: subtle reverb, clear strong vocals, crisp synth sound, subtle 808 bass] Clapping through collapse, like it’s fine Smiling during chaos by design “Find the silver lining,” but I can’t see The roof’s on fire, and you're cheering for me Say it’s great while it’s crashing down Hand out crowns as we all drown If you think this is progress, here's the deal You need to get real [Pre-Chorus: 808 bass building, synths intensify] Sunshine never fixes what’s wrong Rainbows are nice but don't last long “Stay positive” won’t clear this mess We need action, nothing less [Chorus] Toxic positivity, we’ve had enough We’re drowning, and you’re throwing fluff Captains don’t smile as the ship goes down Your fake cheer belongs in the lost and found Put down the act, stop playing pretend We’re done with it, this has to end [Verse 2: subtle reverb] Whistling past the graveyard, sinking slow Thinking high-fives will stop the flow You can’t patch cracks with a glitter gun We need a plan, not empty fun You say “good vibes only,” but I call bluff The team’s falling apart, and you gloss it up Your blind optimism just doesn’t show Wipe that smile off—it’s gotta go [Pre-Chorus: bass building, synths intensify] You think pep talks will stop the leaks But we’ve been sinking for so many weeks Your words don’t help, they only hide We need truth, not just the ride [Chorus] Toxic positivity, we’ve had enough We’re drowning, and you’re throwing fluff Captains don’t smile as the ship goes down Your fake cheer belongs in the lost and found Put down the act, stop playing pretend We’re done with it, this has to end [Bridge: pull back] It’s not ‘negative’ to tell you what’s true Ignoring the fire won’t get us through Your smile’s a Band-Aid on a broken bone We need HELP, not your happy-tone [Instrumental break: layered synth, melodic] [Chorus] Toxic positivity, we’ve had enough We’re drowning, and you’re throwing fluff Captains don’t smile as the ship goes down Your fake cheer belongs in the lost and found Put down the act, stop playing pretend We’re done with it, this has to end [Outro] Cut the act, we’re over the cheer Your toxic front is crystal clear
