Story Behind The Song
As my mental health declined, I became paranoid, insecure and distant. I started to feel like the people I surrounded myself with didn't care for me, or wanted nothing to do with me.
This song is an expression of that feeling.

Lyrics
Lately I've been trying to see
Myself the way they look at me
Do they really like me or am I a joke they see
I think I need some help, dear
Because being by myself is not what I fear
I can hear them laughing, it scares me
Are they laughing at me?
One by one they take hold of me
I cant help feeling like they're choking me
Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35 it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny because the jokes on me
I'm sorry I don't mean to complain
We're tired and should probably sleep
I know you think I'm paranoid about all the people I know
But every time they look at me
I get this feeling like I'm drowning
it gets harder and harder and harder to breathe
rescue me
One by one they take hold of me
I cant help feeling like they're choking me
Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35 it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny because the jokes on me
Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35 it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny because the jokes on me
Sometimes it feels like I'm being cut off
Just when you hold me like you want me gone
Driving home down 35 it occurs to me
I finally think it's funny because the jokes on me
