Original lyrics
ENHelp me, help me
Mask my smile please
Cracks are traveling up my face, and I can't seem to make them leave
Crying, crying
Low and manic highs
I am at my breaking point, and I can't seem to make things right
Trying, trying (this is)
Trying to break free (the part when I break free)
I can't tell if this is real or just attention that I seek ('cause I can't resist it no more)
Oh, find me in my
My personal hell (what the hell?)
Anybody please unmask me, 'cause I can't do it myself (no, no, no, no, no, no)
I'm out of energy (woo)
Sanity's not free (free)
I buckled under pressure, and now I need therapy (yay)
Voices everyday
They cajole and berate
It's spreading like a virus, and it's coming from my brain
Doctor, oh Doctor (ooh, ooh)
Please don't tell me again (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know my heart is fine (ooh)
And my blood pressure's alright (ooh)
But why does it feel like I'm dying inside? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Doctor, oh Doctor (ooh, ooh)
My suffering's too long (ooh-ooh-ooh)
He says: Patients be patient
And come back again
When something's really wrong
Tell me, tell me
Tell me what to do
My mind tells me to give up, but my whole body is confused
I'm scared, I'm scared (I got no time)
But I'm scared to even talk (I got no time to live)
People that are the solutions are the problems that I block (I got no time to live and I can't say goodbye)
I'm hurting, hurting (help me) (ouch, ouch)
But no one seems to see (someone please come and tell me, please) (ouch, ouch)
I'm drowning in my tears, and I've forgotten how to breathe (ouch, ouch, ouch)
Tired, tired
Tired of the pain
Not the pain that's on my wrist, but all the pain inside my brain
No one understands (ah)
No one really cares (hm)
Nothing seems to work, and life and pay is never fair (nope)
But I don't want to hurt
I don't want to die
But I don't want to burden someone else, and so I lie
Doctor, oh Doctor (ooh, ooh)
Please don't tell me again (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know my heart fine (ooh)
And my blood pressure's alright (ooh)
But why does it feel like I'm dying inside? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Doctor, oh Doctor (ooh, ooh)
I'm begging for your aid (ooh-ooh-ooh)
You're just a little ill
Gives me way too many pills
And normalcy I feign
Oh, I know to them it's just a game
All my wages down the drain
I'm trial and error, but am I in vain?
It's too much pain to keep
Would anybody weep
If I just took the leap?
('Cause why not?)
Doctor Caine, Doctor
Will this be enough?
I've put the headset on
And my body's almost gone
But here, for some reason, my mask still falls off (oh)
Doctor Caine, Doctor (ooh, ooh)
Am I only your toy? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I'll grade you a B
And now he's dismissing me
And it's just like I
Remember-er-er-er-er-er-er-er
