When I'm down, really down
Nothing matters, nothing matters
I close my eyes, go to sleep
But I can't sleep, I can't sleep
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself

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
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself

I painted a bar and I never got paid
In a town where everyone was on foot
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
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself

I'm just saying how I feel
Maybe you could try to understand
I'm a man who needs you

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
Please hear my cry for help, and save me from myself
