Verse 1: Bloo Burds
Oh no, here I go again
Would you help me understand
The fleetingness of friends
It's hard to make amends
Chorus: Bloo Burds
Sometimes I need a helping hand
When I'm slipping in the quicksand
I never meant to pull you in
Can we rise again?
Verse 2: Bloo Burds
Oh no, I feel it creeping in
And lately I lament
That I just don't understand
Why good things have to end
Chorus: Bloo Burds
Sometimes I need a helping hand
When I'm slipping in the quicksand
I never meant to pull you in
Can we rise again?
Poem: Saba Mirza
I turn the volume up on my headphones just to drown out the sounds
It's about all I can take tonight
So what am I going to do?
What am I going to do with this contempt?
This self-loathing?
Who do you think we could be without it all?
Am I just a corpse that mimics life?
A boy who wishes he could be real?
We have to be more than this
This can't be all there is, right?
I hate myself more than you ever could
I hope that can be of some comfort to you
Chorus: Bloo Burds
Sometimes I need a helping hand
When I'm slipping in the quicksand
I never meant to pull you in
Can we rise again?
