about

A single about the neoliberal hellscape that is the self help industry.

lyrics

Verse 1
I’m tryna find myself, I’m reading clickbait shit, I hope that my salvation,
Is gonna find me quick,
The man in my computer,
Says my life makes him sick,
But he’ll tell me how to change that for a low-low price, all reward, no risk,
I am downwardly mobile, Can hardly climb the stairs,
Been feeling anti-social, Been thinking no one cares,
My clothes are pizza stained found mozzarella in my hair,
And I’m sorry to reveal to you that I ate it up, ate it up then and there
I’m buying what you’re selling if you’re selling any hope
Believing everything I read is my new way to cope
Tryna cushion my fall down from this emotional tightrope

Prechorus 1
But maybe all I need’s a creative outlet to empty out my brain when I wanna shout,
It could be so therapeutic to make drawings and make music and make friends from making music do you think that I should do this, I don’t know?

Chorus 1 (X 2)
Would you be my friend if I made you a song would you sing along,
Would you dance with me if my new choreography was wrong,
Can you be my pal play the bass solo “You Can Call Me Al”,
No Bundy, you can help me to become somebody lovely

Verse 2
I tried mindfulness and breathing from deep in my chest,
I tried CBT and DBT and all the rest,
I tried exercise to stop myself feeling depressed,
Yo and sometimes that ain’t even work,
I gave it a shot though what can I say,
I got 8 hours every night the perfect time for rest,
I drank 4 litres of fresh water as doctors suggest,
And all the food I put inside me was straight unprocessed,
I was eating shit like Kale I tried that kombucha at one point even,
I tried everything but always wound up feeling stressed,
was living healthy but mentally under house,
So I gave up again and started living like a mess

Prechorus 2
But maybe all I need’s a creative outlet to empty out my brain when I wanna shout,
It could be so therapeutic to make drawings and make music and make friends from making music do you think that I should do this, I don’t know?

Chorus 2 (X 2)
Would you be my friend if I made you a song would you sing along,
Would you dance with me if my new choreography was wrong,
Can you be my pal play the bass solo “You Can Call Me Al”,
No Bundy, you can help me to become somebody lovely
