Ask for Help
Unveiling Inner Struggles: Marty Lee McCray's Plea for Understanding
Lyrics
I tried to drown you out
I attempted to ignore or block out something significant.
And pour another cup
And consume more alcohol.
Not everything is meant
Not everything in life is meant to be hidden or suppressed.
To be covered up
Some things should not be concealed.
Another drink
Having another alcoholic drink.
Another drag
Engaging in another drag of a substance, possibly smoking.
Anything to make me not feel sad
Doing anything to avoid feeling sadness.
I depended on things
I relied on external things or substances.
To make me myself
Dependence on external factors to define my identity.
But hell I couldn't
Expressing difficulty in seeking assistance or support.
I couldn't Ask for Help
Reiterating the struggle in asking for help.
Sometimes your needs
At times, fulfilling one's needs can be suffocating.
Will make you feel
Meeting your needs may create a sense of breathlessness.
Like you can't breathe
Intense emotional pressure making it feel difficult to breathe.
And all your thoughts
One's thoughts can be overwhelming.
Will have you thinking
Constant contemplation that may be misleading.
It's not what it seems
Things may not be as they appear initially.
Another drink
Turning to alcohol or substances to escape sadness.
Another drag
Resorting to smoking or other means to avoid sadness.
Anything to make me not feel sad
Any action to prevent feeling sad.
I depended on things
Dependence on external things or substances.
To make me myself
Relying on external factors to define one's identity.
But hell I couldn't
Emphasizing the struggle in seeking assistance.
I couldn't Ask for Help
Repeating the difficulty in asking for help.
And all the time
Throughout the entire time.
I couldn't guarantee
Unable to ensure or promise.
It took so much time
A significant amount of time was required.
Just to recover me
To regain my true self took considerable effort.
Another drink
Returning to alcohol or substances to avoid sadness.
Another drag
Resuming smoking or other means to evade sadness.
Anything to make me not feel sad
Any action to prevent feeling sad.
I depended on things
Relying on external things or substances.
To make me myself
Dependence on external factors to define my identity.
But hell I couldn't
Underlining the difficulty in seeking assistance.
I couldn't Ask for Help
Reiterating the challenge in asking for help.
No hell I couldn't
Emphasizing the struggle in seeking assistance.
I couldn't Ask for Help
Repeating the difficulty in asking for help.
