I’ve been trying to get back on my feet
Practice smiling in the mirror whitening strips on my teeth
Imma keep it hundred with you, I can be a little cheap
So take that hundred, pocket fifty,
You ain’t got see the real me so please
Oh please,
You ain’t got to ask about my day
I’ll say the same things like I’m okay or doing great.
‘Cause I don’t really want to bother you with my array of feelings
Either way, I’ll be dealing with them my own way.
Cause I’m okay
I’m just trying to find my peace, but you can take a peek, have a piece
Rather help with your problems than helping me, honestly
I find it way more comfortable offering my attention than spending a single second on personal things
And I could blame it on the patriarchy, toxic masculinity, media, or lack of therapy
But I know facts are facts, man it’s easy to see
The root of all my problems always starts with me

I can’t help
I can’t help
Myself
If I
Don’t want help
I’ve been well
I don’t need
Your help
Yeah
I’ve been well
I can’t help
I can’t help
Myself
If I
Don’t want help
I’ve been well
I don’t need
Your help
Yeah
I’ve been well

I need help but not really
The paradox of my feelings
Humble floors with tall ceilings
Leaking tank but still fill it
Fishing for more but caught illness
If life got deeper meaning then what am I even chasing
To live and die for self is only temporary vacation
If higher purpose starts with deciding how it ends
If eternity’s at stake would I keep playing pretend?
We all act like tomorrow is promised
Speak into existence what you may
But the cards ain’t in my wallet
If I’m honest only reason that I have what I have
Whether good whether bad
Is accomplishing his task
‘Cause the truth can’t be truth if I get to pick and choose it
I could never save myself ‘cause the devil is the loser
I could never save myself I could never save myself

I can’t help
I can’t help
Myself
If I
Don’t want help
I’ve been well
I don’t need
Your help
Yeah
I’ve been well
I can’t help
I can’t help
Myself
If I
Don’t want help
I’ve been well
I don’t need
Your help
Yeah
I’ve been well
