Cover art for Breakers lyrics by Local Natives

It's almost like he can't convince anyone he needs help, ya know?

"Waiting for my words to catch like I'm trying to strike a match that's soaking wet."

Sounds like no one believes him and it just makes him feel crazier. Maybe I'm just over-identifying. Either way, it's a brilliant song. Aside from the lyrics, the music is just amazing. Mesmerizing, almost.
