Need It

One of these days, I'll cut my hair
Put on a confident face
And share some air with you
With you
What can I say, it was on your face
You've made another mistake
And they're catching up to you
To you
You can try
To tell me lies
That I can see right through
Like you do

I offer my help
She says I don't need it
I'm doing it myself
And I don't need it
I can't move a muscle
Just keep breathing
I can't believe myself
Don't stop breathing

I'm running, running, run down all the time
My mind, body, matter left battered behind
Tossing and turning through the even tide
Am I pacing around or just staying in stride
Waiting on a chance, on a saving grace
I wade and I wallow through the retrograde
And I'm fading and you're faded
I can drive
Rest your eyes
I know you're dying, too
But I'll push through

I offer my help
She says I don't need it
I'm doing it myself
And I don't need it
I can't move a muscle
Just keep breathing
I can't believe myself
Don't stop breathing

And there you go
You're falling out of reach
Trying to carry the weight yourself
Seems you could use a hand
You know I'd love the help
But I don't need it
I don't need it
But I don't need it
I don't need it

I offer my help
She says I don't need it
I'm doing it myself
And I don't need it
I can't move a muscle
Just keep breathing
I can't believe myself
Don't stop breathing
