I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Sometimes I feel that life's too hard for me to understand
I mean it's like everyday is something else it's just too much I'm just a man
When I ask for help it seems like no ones there to lend a helping hand
It kinda hurt when they say "I can't help you" when you know they ca
I can make
Everything I'm going through I know I know it's just a test
I've been lied on & talked about which I had time to tell the rest
Even if I had time I couldn't tell you everythinh I've been through cause it's too much for me it's too much
My mind is going crazy
Gotta try to keep myself together gotta try to keep my mind off all the things that's hurting me so bad but it hurts
Lord you gotta help me
I know that I I can make
I can make it
I mean it's like everyday is something else it's just too much I'm just a man
When I ask for help it seems like no ones there to lend a helping hand
It kinda hurt when they say "I can't help you" when you know they ca
I can make
Everything I'm going through I know I know it's just a test
I've been lied on & talked about which I had time to tell the rest
Even if I had time I couldn't tell you everythinh I've been through cause it's too much for me it's too much
My mind is going crazy
Gotta try to keep myself together gotta try to keep my mind off all the things that's hurting me so bad but it hurts
Lord you gotta help me
I know that I I can make
I can make it
