When I'm down, really down
Nothing matters, nothing does
I close my eyes, go to sleep
But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
[Chorus]
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
[Break]
[Verse 2]
Junior high, I lost my mind
I don't know why, it's a terrible thing
Since that day it's been a struggle
Trying to make sense out of scrambled eggs
[Chorus]
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
[Verse 3]
I painted a bar and I never got paid
In a town where everyone was unemployed
I was locked in on Easter day
All I had to eat was a piece of bread
When I got home my mother said
"You're a lazy bum and that's how come
You suffer like that and you'll starve
All your life. All your life."
Spoken just like it was a curse
But it didn't really sound so bad
I like to make things up
It's the healthiest thing that I do
But I'm tired from being kidnapped
By a dark wolf that would do me in
[Chorus]
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
[Break]
[Bridge]
I'm just saying how I feel
Maybe you could try to understand
I'm a man who needs you
[Verse 4]
When I'm down, really down
Nothing matters, nothing does
I close my eyes to go to sleep
But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
You can listen to these songs
Have a good time and walk away
But for me it's not that easy
I have to live these songs forever
[Chorus]
Please hear my cry for help
And save me from myself
