lyrics

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

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?

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
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

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 liters 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

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?

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
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
