Hello friend

I run my mouth against these walls

Hello friend

I was down when you were gone

With all on my shoulders

The echoes they told me

I’m still alive

The symptoms I’m showin’

Check my vitals and told me

I’m still alive

Yeah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-oh-oo-oh

Oh-oo-oh

Hello friend

You know when

You’re gone it all can seem a little cold and

With all that I’ve been holdin’

I’m just tryin’ to create some

Safer places in my mind that I can take up

Can you hear me in the distance?

Screaming for existence

Rumors in my head are so persistent

When I’m headin’ for a break down

I’m just hopin’ that you might show me the way out

With all of these sessions

My therapist stresses

I’m still alive

Still alive

All out in the open

Don’t know if I know that

I’m still alive

Still alive

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah

Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-oh-oo-oh

Oh-oo-oh

I’ve been holdin’

I’ve been holdin’ onto somethin’ new

Holdin’ onto somethin’ new

I’ve been holdin’

I’ve been holdin’ onto somethin’ new

Holdin’ onto somethin’ new

Hang my head when I see it

Knowin’ well that it means if

I can’t hold the weight of the pain that it brings that

it could pull me under

reaching for the ceiling just to feel it

Cryin’ out for a friend please

Hold me ‘cause I’m scared the way the road is ending

Then I feel the words that somebody else had sent me

“listen to me carefully”

Know I always see you

When you feel it I feel you

You’re still alive

still alive

When all starts to press in

Just answer the question

Am I still alive?

Hello hello hello and I told you
