When my mind is calm it’s like a bright green field,
A deep blue ocean or a cotton candy sky
But sometimes out of nowhere, I don’t know where it comes from,
A creepy scary bad thought races by

CHORUS
Sometimes I find a zombie walking thru my brain
But I let it walk thru, yea I let it walk thru
It’s ugly, and it’s mean and here it comes again
But I know it's not true yea I know it's not true

This zombie’s taking over and now there’s 10 of them
Creepy, crawly, slimy, nasty zombie thoughts
20, 30, 40 zombies screaming in my head
They don’t even know me, is this real or is this not?

CHORUS

All these thoughts that get stuck in my mind
Feel so real and so unkind
Saying I’m bad or that I’m not enough
But I know not to believe that stuff because
I am smart, I am brave, I am strong, stronger than zombies!

The zombies in my head, they can’t control me
Zombie thoughts are scary, but I know they aren't true
People who love me know me better than zombies
And next time one comes I’ll know what to do
(I know what to do and you can do it too, hey!)

CHORUS

Let it walk through, I know it’s not true
