My anxietys bad I cant sleep at night and I stay feeling sad This depression don't lessen this weight on my chest I prepare for the worst and then I hope for the best If the best don't come soon I might lose it This ain't the life that i wanted I didn't choose it I always dreamed I'd do something with music Write my own shit let someone famous produce it I got some talent i might as well use it But i get fucking self conscious and then I can't do it I feel so helpless I wear this rope around my throat like a necklace I know shit would get better if i would just let it But i get so overwhelmed and just...fuck it forget it There's no life jacket in this rip tide Ive got cement shoes and my hands tied I couldn't swim even if I tried You can't swim when you're drowning on the inside I feel like im losing myself I spend too much time in my head and i should probably get help It's like I'm staring at heaven but im living in hell They said i was free to go but they lost the keys to my cell I need help But they'll prescribe me pills and tell me im depressed But they can't prescribe a pill to eliminate all this stress I'm in debt and I bet no would answer if I call I got 99 problems and money could solve them all But I keep hitting walls I keep getting stalled Its like I almost touch the top and then i just fall Right back down again I take one step forward and then go back ten Til I'm staring at the fucking starting line again Except im a mile back now and I cant even begin To describe the shit going on in my mind I been going through it lately and im starting to find That when you need an eye everyone is blind Everybody wanna see you struggle Everybody wanna see you fall Everybody wanna piece of you Til theres nothing left at all There's no life jacket in this rip tide Ive got cement shoes and my hands tied I couldn't swim even if I tried You can't swim when you're drowning on the inside
