Help!
Raise the Anchors! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why does everyone have to doubt me
Won't anyone just believe me
'Cause I'm telling you the truth
And why does everyone just berate me
Won't anyone fucking help me
'Cause I'm telling you the truth
Cause this feeling's been growing and
I'm done consoling myself
And I'm asking you for help
Cause this feeling's been growing and
I'm done consoling myself
And I'm asking you for help
I am a danger to myself
(And everyone)
You're sick of my complacency
I need to find a girl
(And just for fun)
I medicate consistently
God save me
Just help me out
If I'm hopeless just tell me
I just need you
Help me out
Cause this feeling's been growing and
I'm done consoling myself
I need your help. I need it now
(SOS)
You're sick of all my apathy
A path that I must choose
(The sad part is)
I'm writing my own tragedy
God save me
Just help me out
(It's the same old story for guts and glory)
If I'm hopeless just tell me
I just need you
Help me out
(Just forget yourself be like someone else)
Cause it's my own private hell
But I'm breaking out of my shell
You followed through and, well
Ladies and gentlemen I am improving!
And know it gets harder and harder
And you'll fall down before it gets easier
I gained 30lbs!
But ladies and gentlemen I am improving now!
Why does everyone have to doubt me
Won't anyone just believe me
Cause I'm telling you the truth
Why does everyone just berate me
Won't anyone fucking help me
Cause I'm telling you the truth




Cause this feeling been growing and
I'm done consoling myself
