We got a problem in America
Too many people dying, yeah, but we don't really care enough
Addiction through the roof, but we're too caught up in hysteria
Too busy on our phone to see the problems in our area
Man, I don't wanna preach, but everything's been getting scarier
It's easy to ignore a problem till they got a barrier
Big Pharma's getting rich, they're probably thinking it's hilarious
While people out here dying, man, it's feeling so nefarious
Been through it all myself, I wouldn't wish that on nobody else
Every day was hell, but I was lucky that I found help
But most don't get a chance to overcome it and escape
And some just ending up inside a grave
Some just swallow pain and keep on carrying that burden inside 'em
And they don't wanna let their family down, they suffer in silence
Until their mental health's declining, but they gotta keep climbing
I'm writing this for ones that won't let all their problems define 'em, I see you
So can I get my soul back?
I'm sick of being someone
I don't wanna be 'cause
I been such a letdown
I let all my friends down
I just want a way outta my darkest days
I just wanna know when all of my pain will just be over
Till then I just wanna be sober
I need something to get me outta this reality
Feels like a dream, no, a nightmare drowning me
I look around, I feel like everyone surrounding me, doubting me
Anxiety is peaking, heart is pounding, please
I need a change in my life from pain and the strife
It's draining me out, I could blame my own lies
I tell myself that I'm pretty much worthless
But that ain't true, just haven't found my purpose
I got this, I could come back
I'm alive in this world, it ain't so bad
I'm not saying that life's not hard
You're covered in scars, but still you didn't fall apart, so
Don't give up on your dreams
I know it may seem like you're splitting at the seams, but
If you're the hero in this film
Everybody likes a comeback story to tell, ah
So can I get my soul back?
I'm sick of being someone
I don't wanna be 'cause
I been such a letdown
I let all my friends down
I just want a way outta my darkest days
I just wanna know when all of my pain will just be over
Till then I just wanna be sober
